People who buy real bands over the cheap clones - why?

I got my Apple Watch Ultra few days ago, and the first thing I did was order some bands off Aliexpress. I bought 2 pieces, 2 dollars each (nike band and ocean loop). I was at an Apple store today, and saw some alpine loops which cost around 100$. I dont understand why wouldnt I buy almost the same thing for a tiny fraction of the price. Also I could buy 50 of those Ali bands instead of one legit. Maybe I am missing out on something? I get that the quality is much better on the real deal, but is it really worth the price? Its just a watch band at the end of the day
