But then some competitor should come and sell the same thing for much less money, which means that you do not really create 10M value.

That's why companies try and sell you their brand and/or their ecosystem as well as their product.

Arguably one of the best at doing this is Apple. A similar product exists and has cheaper options (various Android flavors) but people prefer their green text bubbles and status symbol brand effect.
