Fancy inlays are very labor intensive. Dots can be cut from basically a dowel rod. Vines and other intricate things are usually hand cut.

They don't work as well, so if they look cool they will sell.

uhm why not

I can clearly see how that would raise the price of a guitar

Different materials used, more dye required, more time and attention from a luther
