Plenty of excellent office chairs out there, that have to meet strict ergonomic requirements (Herman Miller, Haworth, bruinzeel, Steelcase to name a few). They are built for sitting in all day and have to have quality fabric to last some years. Above office chairs is a tier for the operators of emergency services and other monitoring stations but these chairs start at 3k.
Gaming chairs don't have to meet any requirements.
What requirements exist for office chairs?
They have to meet requirements in terms of the seating, and be configurable in a number of points, size and spacing of the wheels. In the EU the governments actually regulate the stuff so it's easier for "big office chair" to make sure it all meets the requirements.
And then if the quality is shit, companies will not buy dozens to thousands of them.
