It's not about selling lacquers. That's just a way to get people to pay attention like claiming the Phantom has the world's best sound. It's about the mastering process for older recordings. I've listened to two Fondamenta recordings now -- the unfortunately titled In the Mood for Tuba (which is great) and the sublime piano recording of Tatiana Zelikman. They are some of the finest recordings I've heard (and very reasonably priced). But it's clearly about this novel remastering process they've used on the Navarra set, since Devialet is mentioned:

Hats off to Devialet for caring about reviving some of the world's great artists.
UPDATE: Now listening to the Navarra. Wow! His cello tone is magnificent. And the orchestral dynamics are outrageous!

Please I was stunned at how gorgeous the lawyer boxed set was and ready to purchase --- until I learned you can only play them once

Hey friends, it's not just about the lacquer, their announcement is about vinyl as well:
"Vector of absolute emotions, the vinyl is a great analog medium capable of transmitting all the heat and character of an old recording with subtlety. That is why this medium, pressed in 180gm to guarantee an audiophile quality, was a natural choice for such a unique collection.
Produced in one of the world’s best vinyl pressing factories and featuring an exclusive design, the vinyl’s collection reaches perfection.
Each album is limited to 900 copies."
