It doesn't look like it helps much...

Yeah, that type of handle is already a lever that you can use with your forearm. The motion is a little awkward, but it's free.
But if the door opens towards you, it's really hard to pull on the handle with your forearm and this would provide something to hook your arm around for leverage.
Hence the awkward part. It's not impossible.
And at a cost of €40 per pair it's a no-no. I think they will gain more from the free promo they will get from media/clicks than actual sells of the specific handle.

What the...

It probably cost less than a dollar to print these.

EDIT: Yep. Just added one to the slicer. $1 if you are paying about $25 per filament, which is on the expensive side. It would cost me about half as much.
