And for 10% LESS they'd just use a metal post.

Why would you cover a metal post with a wood veneer? If the fence is
oriented right, you won't see the posts anyway.



You'll see them if like here, the posts must be in your own yard.
That is so the good side faces the neighbors.


Okay, I'll play. If I'm paying for the fence, WHY would I want the "good"
side facing the neighbors?

Like others have said, it may be code, it looks better when people look
at your property, and it is neighbor friendly.
You can comply with code, improve the appearance on both sides of the
fence, and keep the neighbors happy, by using a fence that looks the
same on both sides.
IMHO, a chain link fence doesn't look good on either side.
