I have a different bag and the quality and comfort are worth the price for me as well as knowing I'm covered for zippers or such.
Also they are designed to be comfortable, cheaper packs from Amazon and Walmart or school style bags like what Jansport make - Those are made to sell at retail stores, to trigger an impulse buy or to compare well vs the other ones on the shelf. They're locked in a race to the bottom.
Osprey is at the lower end of the price scale for high quality backpacks but they're made as well if not better than many that cost a lot more.
If you have a younger spine and don't really care that much about comfort, or you're getting a small bag that won't be heavy, and you don't use it often and are fairly gentle with your things, you may well be happy with one of the bags from Walmart or your local random store. In fact there are some that bag nerds mention for being decent quality at amazing low prices both from Walmart and also Decathalon, but if you want something that will last and or be comfortable - Osprey is a great place to start. Comfort is subjective and different bags are made for different bodies so it's nice to try them on if you can.
