I thought the same thing, until I bought my first fountain pen back in... 2016? 2017? It was a Pilot Metropolitan, I think it was about $15. Once you spend $15 on a single pen, you're gonna watch it a bit more closely than a 5 pack of ballpoints for $2. And once you spend over $150 on a pen, you're really gonna make sure you don't lose it.

Within a few days of getting my yellow VP it opened in my pocket, fell out of my pocket while getting out of my car, and landed nib first on the street which just trashed the nib. My wallet was hurting that week.
