Because they were developed as a HD replacement for the 6AR6/6098 tubes...used in the guidance systems for our ICBMs. If a rocket is subjected to a tremendous amount of G-force, which it is, and travels WAY up into the atmosphere..it has to be able to take the punishment. There is no room for error in that application...hence the extreme requirements for that tube.
For a less expensive audio alternative, I'd suggest the 6AR6/6098. Just be aware of the lower screen rating compared to the plate. Raytheon made some beautiful 6AR6's. They look just like a TungSol 5881/6L6WGB but obviously are not the same animal!
