It isn't so much about aesthetics, but the look screams 'apple'. Apple is an aspirational lifestyle brand

Apple also have a warranty and service which is worth more than toilet paper unlike the other brands.
Repairs outside of the standard warranty on my Apple stuff is usually shackled to expensive paid warranty upgrades and restocking fees.

For example, AppleCare+ for this $2k monitor costs $149, and there's a $99 service fee for screen damage or enclosure damage, and a $299 fee for other accidental damage.
