why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable

I have tried expensive cables and one's moderately priced. I would say there were some differences but I can't actually say the expensive cables were better. IMHO I believe a lot of people buy expensive cables because they don't actual trust their ears and are afraid of making a mistake. They figure the expensive cables are better for the fact they cost more. If you have a difference of opinion or share the same thoughts, I would like to hear about it.

Whatever you may think of high end cables that cost more than most high end electronics or speakers, the cable manufacturers are laughing all the way to the bank. Fool an audiophile once, shame on him.  Fool him twice, shame on cable manufacturer. Fool him thrice, congratulations cable manufacturer.

I do not believe in the effectiveness of expensive, overpriced "wire."  I recently priced out  full stereo cable set up (minus power cables) of Nordhost's Odin line of cables.  If I remember correctly, the retail cost was $137,000.00.

Yes....they target fools with too much money.  Those who "can afford them" and don't have a clue, keep the scam alive.
