I'll bite, and get in to your Ford/Chevy argument.
Would love to see some scientific testing results for all that info but till then...... it is way less expensive, has not off gassed or smelled up my truck in any way, did not freeze last winter in GA, nor melted off the doors on 105 degree summer days in Dallas, TX. As a vibration damper it performs just as well as anything you can place against thin metal to stop vibrations. As a sealant, well, that is exactly what it is designed to do. And designed to do it on the exterior of a home, so a little cold/heat isn't going to hurt it.
End result is my truck sounds great to me and this is a direct comparison to my last truck with no deadner. Same year truck, same system. First truck, no deadner, I was so disgusted by how bad it sounded after spending all my time doing the install, I tore it all back out and put the stock stereo back in.
This truck, with sealed up doors with home depot deadner, thinsulate, and egg crate foam, sounds phenomenal. Very pleased with the results. I do not compete but it goes as loud as I need it to with no distortion and has plenty of mids from the doors. Been in there a while now and is a daily driver, grocery go getter, and kid hauler and no issues.
Buy whatever product you want, but I think the high dollar stuff is no better. Just better marketing
