Bragging rights, bragging rights, can you say "ego"?   For a tool you can't use and can only look at,  but not,  even if it is the only  left.

I want to meet the idiot that caused the label to be added explaining that it is not a real wrench and can not unscrew real bolts...

Yeah - that's gotta suck for the person that last week paid over the grand for the biggest.  I suspect the next person will get a MUCH better deal.  I'll be shocked if all three carry the price of the first.

I believe it was P. T. Barnum who said "there's a sucker born every minute".  With the advent of ebay I think they're being born even faster than that.
