This seems to be rating the input-to-output loss only.

In fact, devices with higher losses often have better return loss,
flatness, isolation, frequency response and other specifications.
Achieving these desirable characteristics always comes at a price, and
signal is about the only thing a passive device has to sacrifice.

As long as you have sufficient signal, the loss spec. can in fact be the
least important of them all.

I also note that "Monster" devices carry a very large price premium, as
usual.
