During the Sunlu Halloween Sale, the minimum order quantity shown on the website does not seem to apply. Even if it says "Over 6KG Bundle" or "Over 3KG Bundle", you can simply order individual spools with free shipping. For example, standard PLA filament is available for $12.99.
If you want other filament types besides single-color PLA, you can find additional options on the Halloween sale page.

These include silk filament (in silk gold, silver, copper, etc.) and Meta PLA, both priced at $14.99.
Or the new rainbow filament, which changes colors in half the distance compared to previous versions, along with wood and glow-in-the-dark filaments, all available at $19.99 each.
Just make sure that shipping to the US is selected when you add the filament to the cart, otherwise you'll see very high shipping costs at checkout.
All filaments have a diameter of 1.75mm +/- 0.02mm. Printing parameters depend on the specific filament you choose. The recommended settings for PLA are:
Nozzle Temperature: 200-215°C
Print Bed Temperature: 50-60°C

As for why people pay (more like 2X the price) for Bambu filament? Well, apparently as is the case with you, not everyone knows. Also, the Bambu Labs spools have RFID in them that tells the printer the color, and filament material and allows the amount of filament printed to be tracked, and to some people, those extra features are worth the premium price.
And to be clear, Sunlu is not the only filament that Bambu Labs rebrands, but the point is that if it is good enough for them to rebrand, it should be good enough for anyone.

My point still stands unless you are able to prove otherwise. And if you do, awesome, it would be beneficial for everyone. Now go do an investigation!

Where did you obtain this information? Sunlu frequently offers promotions, allowing you to purchase their filament for as little as $5 per KG in China. Given this, why do others continue to spend more than three times the price on original Bambu Lab filaments?

That doesn't actually prove anything. It's common for overseas warehouses that accept shipments from different Chinese companies to use excess packaging from one brand for another. This only indicates they share the same overseas warehouse. There's no news about this in the Chinese 3D community and forums, and eSun, Sunlu, and BBL filaments are all produced in different factories. The Chinese 3D printing community should have firsthand information since all these companies originate from China.
What I discovered about the maker of BBL filaments might surprise you. The official response from Miaozhen indicated Panasonic, but I lack concrete evidence to confirm this, the same as your information.
