I thought the same at first glance too. That's how they make money off of a lot of unobservant people.
Get silicone wipers even if they cost 10x the price because they last more than 10x as long and save you the hassle of changing them over a dozen times over the next decade or more. I bought a set of RainX Silicone blades in 2018 for $48 and they still work perfectly right now. Before that I was buying the cheapest $6-$8 rubber wipers every 9mos for all my cars since 1998 because they always start cracking and leaving streak arcs across my windshield after 6mo-9mos but now, 8 years later, the silicone blades work 98% as well as they did when they were new! I'd estimate I can get another 8-12 years out of them before they start leaving significant size streaks that start to impair vision when raining which was the point at which I used to change the rubber ones.
These silicone wiper blades are pitched as a low-cost way to get longer life and better weather resistance than cheap rubber blades, with some reports of smooth performance after months or years of use. The appeal is especially strong in hot, sunny climates, and the current price sits well below the roughly $17 to $18 per set reference points mentioned for similar silicone blades. The main cautions are fit and build quality, with reports of difficult installation, cheap plastic mounts, shaking on the arm, and occasional streaking or poor visibility. A practical budget pick if the size matches and expectations stay modest.
Drivers in hot, sunny climates who want longer-lasting blades, because silicone can hold up far longer than cheap rubber before cracking and streaking.
Drivers replacing blades on cars that use standard fitments, because these silicone blades can work well for months and are easy to justify when they outperform cheaper options.
Silicone blades can last much longer than cheap rubber blades and may keep wiping clean for years, which reduces how often you need replacements. A practical caveat is that some newer silicone blades have been reported to streak, jiggle, or feel lower quality, so the value depends on the specific version and your expectations.
Some users report clean wiping and good performance for months, while others report heavy streaking that makes visibility difficult. The difference appears to depend on the specific blade version and condition, since older silicone blades are also reported to hold up much better than newer ones.
Installation can be finicky, especially on the passenger side, because the plastic mounts may feel cheap and can fall apart during fitting. Once installed, they can work normally, but the attachment may not feel very secure.
I just bought these (not on sale) and they arrived today. Passenger side was pretty difficult to install and fell apart a couple times(cheap plastic mounts). I managed to put it on and they appear to work all right, not super confident that one of them wont fly off.

I bought the rain-X silicon wipers based on internet reviews and posts like this. They're garbage. Like they have one job to do and they don't work. They leave streaks making it impossible to see. I just figure posts like this are astroturfing bots and I got suckered. You win this time rain-x. Never again though.

They had to have changed their formula then, because mine still work great and my car has been parked outdoors most of it's life. I just started parking it inside in the last year. So to be specific, the 2018 RainX silicone wipers from Walmart which were $48 per pair were amazing. Clearly the newer ones they sell aren't as good from all this feedback I'm seeing so don't get the current version of RainX silicone wipers.
As in most things, maintenance is the key. I spray window cleaner on a paper towel and wipe down the rubber/silicone surface of the blade and you can see the grime that is cleaned off. Its gas, oil, environmental contaminants, brake dust, sap etc. This is what eats the blades up. Then I rub a little Seal and Shine or Ceramic coating into the rubber/silicone. Always keep the windows clean and coated with something and the water fly's right off.

They reportedly do not fit a Bolt EUV. If you need blades for that vehicle, you may need a different adapter or a different product entirely.
Installation can be finicky, especially on the passenger side, because the plastic mounts may feel cheap and can fall apart during fitting. Once installed, they can work normally, but the attachment may not feel very secure.
