Went looking for some spiral cable wrap to build a few simple

Turns out it's dollars per foot for the spiral stuff, but slit
corrugated hose is much cheaper, roughly what I expected for spiral.

Some clue as to what diameter and material you're looking for would be
helpful.  Looking at what a Google image search dredged up, I don't
see anything that costs "dollars per foot".
<https://www.google.com/search?q=spiral+cable+wrap&tbm=isch>
For example:
<https://www.cabletiesandmore.com/spiral-wrap-standard>
$15.13 / 100 ft in 3/4 inch diameter LDPE.

Anybody have a clue why? The convoluted  material looks a lot
slower to make. I tend to think it's inferior mechanically,
and certainly is bulkier.

Convoluted material?  Maybe a more specific material description will
yield a less vague answer.

Thanks for reading, and any ideas...
