It's an apples to oranges comparison for sure. The only reason you'd purchase a Thunderbolt cable is to support Thunderbolt enabled hardware, which are designed for Apple computers. It would have been a better comparison if they scanned the typical USB-C cable provided with a laptop or iPad instead. They start at $19.00 per 1 meter cable.

Thunderbolt isn’t just for Macs. Lots of PCs have Thunderbolt. The interface was developed by Apple and Intel.

If you bought a higher end Windows machine, there is a good chance you have Thunderbolt.
