Well it depends on how long you own the domain for. A one time 5 figure price, then $12 each year after that will be cheaper than $850/year if you keep the domain for decades.

It sounds like OP didn't spot that this was a premium domain and purchased it at a discount.
He says he has 100s of domains so presumably he's savvy to this and theres a dark pattern at play.
That or he's careless and someone has not realised many domains are cheap in the first 1-3 years then priced ludicrously.

It doesn't help that we have someone purportedly from Google trying to gaslight OP and us into thinking there's no way he paid $12 for the first year.

Okay he posted a receipt for the transaction and it was hundreds of dollars. I think they guy doesn't understand exchange rates.
The amount he paid for 1 year is worth about $120 today and then he's somehow dropped an order of magnitude AND forgot about the punishing inflation the Lira has seen.
I think I'd suggest OP is at fault.
