Bro I wasn't even 100% sure about if HDMI was analog or digital until like 2 days ago and I've built my own computers. Having cables that expensive is such a Big Lie that it's hard to imagine it really is entirely bullshit
I think why it works is because there have been quite a few versions of hdmi over the years with some differing capability while maintaining the same plug. I'm not too much in the know, but very old hdmi standards sometimes didn't carry audio from what I remember. So, there really are some differences and it's even easier to upsell clueless/affluent consumers on imaginary features like a gold plated digital interface.

No, even when HDMI was still on like 1.0 I remember seeing a bunch of 40-80 dollar cables in a Best Buy.
