I don't see how that is the same logic. People are willing to pay

How do you define, "willing." If you have a certificated aircraft with
a certificated engine... your "will" has nothing to do with it.

Well, unless someone forced those planes on the owners against their
will, they in all likelihood wrote a check (maybe begrudgingly, but
definitely of their own free will) in exchange for that plane, the
cost of which included the engine.
