Not only did you get the equipment type wrong, you got the market wrong too. Gefen looks like a specialty company mostly serving a niche in commercial installations. In commercial installations, they shouldn't be using cheap consumer devices if they can avoid it. It looks to me that Gefen is a pretty solid commercial grade device, with a steel enclosure and rather than a cheap plastic shell, and their products have serial control too.
Plus, there's probably no consumer market for a 5:1 or 10:1 splitter, not only no competition, there's no chance for economies of scale of a consumer market either.
