Some Canada Goose coats are $900+.
You can definitely get coats with 95% the same utility for 200-300. That is considerably less.
Sure if you want to go to Antartica they might be worth the extra money, but the majority of people buy them for the fashion/status signaling.

If you go to Antartica (professionally, not sure about tourists) you will be issued clothes. For what isn't, Aldi options are sufficient, I've heard.

A couple of hundred is still much less.

Eddie Bauer, Patagonia, LL Bean, REI all make down jackets which are arguably just as good and are half to a quarter the price.
I always thought down was groace and sweaty myself. Even in super cold weather. Easier to adjust things using layers.
A friend of mine bought a coat from what is probably Canada Goose's main competitor in their Montreal factory store. It was expensive, even on sale, but it was also a very nice cold weather coat that fit well--in addition to looking good.
