you make it sound like cheaper shocks are inferior. Aftermarket that are suitable for the intended purpose are often OE equivalent and sometimes better. I had poor underperforming suspension, replacing them with known quality aftermarket shocks&springs KYB/Monroe alternatives, restored a beautiful suspension. Best move I've done and 5yrs+ of complete enjoyment.
Aftermarket also cater to performance crowds. I wouldn't want to ever be held over a barrel for OE, that just serves Ford.
