Sometimes I buy $300 buttons, they’re emergency power off buttons that are engineered not to fail. Throw in certification, warranty, and middlemen combined with low volume and you’ve got a button that sells for $300 at a supply house.

When you slam the EPO button to shut down the boiler, x-ray machine, server racks or whatever else needs to be powered down immediately in emergency situations, failure to actuate is not acceptable.
