They're giant gadgets so there's really no ceiling on the kinds of features they can add to a high end bike.
That Harley Davidson eBike has elegant inline accelerometer actuated break lights! They must add a bit to the price. And you probably pay a premium just for the cool brand name, too.
It's a matter of picking the features that will actually benefit you, and shopping around for a brand that has the right combination of features important to you.
I took a test ride on a different, less expensive brand of bike that had the automatic Enviolo stepless automatic transmission, and really loved it. And the silent belt drive went really well with the smooth transmission.
Then I shopped around a lot and found a Koga that had the Enviolo, who makes high quality hand made seamless frames, and that drove up the price a lot.
If I was going to pop for a good transmission, it would be a pity to have it on a crappy frame. And the Koga has other useful features like good brakes and crank, shock absorbers, lighting, internal cabling and battery, all seamlessly integrated, etc.
I was getting a bike instead of a car as a primary means of transportation, and I fully insured it in case it's stolen.
I'd recently moved away from the center of the city to the outskirts of town where there's more space, and now I have a whole car-free locked garage to park it in and keep it safe and dry.
It's really made the rest of the city seem much closer, even though I'm now further away from the center!
But it would really suck without a safe parking garage, if I had to lock it out front on the street regularly, like where I used to live in the center.
