Not a good price for a 4 pack of PLA, not even for a "pro" version.
Really? Not sure I've seen a better deal on better filament. Yes, you can get Jayo or Kingroon from AliExpress, but those are inferior filaments and you have to wait for them to arrive, sometimes for weeks. This filament is great, and a better price than normal. But if you've got a better deal I'd love to hear it!

"...but those are inferior filaments"
How did you come to this conclusion? Truth is, most filament comes from the same places in China. Repeated testing on "pro", etc. versions show no difference. It's just marketing.
Yes, a person would need t wait longer for the other brands. Usually a week vs a couple of days. This is one reason why the other brands are cheaper. Storing at Amazon costs money.
But noticed I said it was not a "good" price.. as in, it's this price all the time. Nothing slick about it. I good deal on 4 spools would be $7 - $8/spool. But it appears price may be increasing.
To categorize all PLA as the same is silly or simply due to lack of knowledge. I've tried and have a ton (some of it in attached photo) of PLA (all dialed in) and there are absolutely differences between many of them.
While Elegoo PLA Pro is their most expensive (generally) between their basic, rapid & plus and many people prefer their pro, their PLA+ is my preference between those four. I do have plenty of PLA Pro but it has more of a PETG feel to it which many people prefer or like, but not me.
Yes, Amazon does run this price on the 4-pack every month or so, but it is still a good deal. I suppose if your not in a rush we know it will likely come back in August.
The PLA you linked has a very different finish than the one in this OP. I suppose it can be a preference thing, but I'm not sure the point in listing a different product.

If nothing else, this is pretty much the going price:
