The ES5000 Honda I had had 2 or 4 120v outlets, a 120v 30A twistlock outlet,
and a 240v twistlock outlet.

You still haven't explained what this possibly has to do with being cheap
vs expensive, which is *nothing*. It's just a matter of terminal
configuration, and an efficient way to yield both 240 and 120 at the same
time (which is why it is used for residential wiring). Cheap generators
may be wired that way, because it is the best compromist, but that's not
why they're cheap.

And just what utility generators provide a single 120VAC outlet at, what,
over 30 amps you're claiming, and not 240? (As opposed to, say, RV
gensets
that are expensive for any number of unrelated reasons, and stuck with
120VAC single-leg delivery.)
