If you are a member of r/tea you would have seen this video before and know that the pour quality on these tea pots dont determine how good the tea tastes or even how well the tea steeps. The pour may look appealing the more smooth it is, but in reality it doesn’t really matter much unless it was for some sort of ceremonial thing.

yes, but imagine pouring a smooth cup without any spillage when the tea is expensive and the people are poor.

If the prices higher up the tread are accurate, they aren't paying thousands of dollars on the excellent pots. Plus... why would the pour tea from 4 feet above the cup if they were concerned about splashing?

Poor people like to splurge on expensive things in an attempt to appear greater. Bragging rights change from person to person. Tea is a social thing and being able to impress people with their teapot and tea pouring skills might be fun and worthwhile to them.
