Are stock suspensions/shocks terrible? Or the good ones too expensive?

After seeing this guy's gifs I wondered why mine aren't like that. I own a '16 Off road Tacoma so I thought my suspension was good, but nothing close to those!

Why aren't all shocks like that? Is it too expensive, not last as long or make the vehicle not perform well?

The extra expense (and racing/off road quality shocks are fucking really expensive) is almost never worth it for the average consumer, which is why you have stock shocks, which are good enough for 99% of the situations you will ever realistically find yourself in.
