With coffee it’s mainly the consistency of the grind. You want all particles to be the same size. Larger particles take longer to extract than smaller articles, and if it’s uneven you over/under extract parts of the coffee depending on grain size. This affects the flavor of the coffee. E.g. under-extracted is sour, and over-extracted too bitter.
An even grind requires a machine that’s been built with precision components and that’s expensive to make.
Youre absolutely off your rocker if you think a high quailty $200 burr grinder cant make excellent coffee at home.
A professional coffee shop doing mass volumes is pretty much the only reason to buy a $4000 grinder. That’s something you get because you pull 1000 shots/day and need spare parts for repairs, because downtime costs you lots of money. Its not for Johnny “2 lattes.”
