A similar Streamlight might cost $100.

I have not had a Wurkkos or Sofirn fail and even have many no name generic china lights are still going strong after ten or more years of use and abuse.
Why would I want more expensive when I can have multiple light in various form factors and function where I need them for still significantly less cost than one Streamlight?
Streamlight also seems to want to suck you into proprietary batteries that you can only get from them which I find very weaselly and money grubbing in a world where low cost 18650 is becoming standard.
WK03:
Neutral color temperature
Excellent color rendering
18650 battery (possibly pocketable)
Lightweight for size

TS23:
Lots of output (briefly) for size
Very cool color temperature
Poor color rendering
21700 battery (higher capacity, not pocketable)
Heavy for size

I guess it is up to you if you find value in buying a cheaper item.
When it comes to specific things like flashlights or tools. I give my opinion that it is better to spend just a little bit more to only buy it once.
Has absolutely nothing to do with the rest of what you posted. For me personally, sometimes spending more once is saving money in the long run. That is a good deal.
A flashlight that lasts a few years (maybe 10 instead of forever) is perfectly fine if you're getting it at a decent price point. Horses for courses.

As a for instance I was in fishing forum and when I would recommend a $30 Okuma I'd hear the same argument that we have here yet I have Okumas that are over twenty years old and have been used in the salt and brackish water they are not even rated for.
A few sat on the bottom of Chesapeake for some good period of time and still worked well with just a quick rinse. I noted with interest that some other user in the forum that had bought a $489 reel had it completely seize after one quick dunk and the manufacturer was refusing to warranty it. I could spend the day fishing while they guy was fighting for warranty against terms that excluded him from getting any.
I don't think all many many Okumas cost what they guy paid for one reel. I had sizes and multiple dedicated setups for various fishing and get more real value in my life than he could. Money spent does not equal value in any economic sense.
You do not always get what you pay for is I think my main point. Money spent is just one part of being wise consumer and being careful not get get loyal or fanboy like with some brand name can cost you as well and you may pay much more for less in the long run.

My argument for buying Ryobi is basically the same as my flashlight argument, they need to work when I use them, but I'm probably not using them all that often. The quality is good enough for me, and the much lower price point allows me to enjoy a wider breadth of items and for me to upgrade to a nicer technology when it comes around without much guilt. I can always hand off an older light to someone else, as they last long enough IMO.
Like with anything else, something may be perfect for you, but may be the wrong choice for someone else. Doesn't mean either is inherently bad.
