What are some ways in which expensive products can be worse than cheaper ones?

Examples that come to my mind:

* Expensive clothes can be much less convenient to clean
* In expensive hotel rooms it's often harder to figure out how to turn off all the lights
* Expensive restaurants often have less choice in menus

I cook breakfast every morning with a mauviel chef-grade brass pan (which are fantastic for everything except this use case)...

and every morning my hubby says to me: can I please buy you a non-stick pan for making eggs, the brass pan is a pain in the 🍑 to clean
