Why are some Netgear products called "Essentials Editions"?

Why are some of the Netgear wifi range extenders called "Essentials Edition", are they somehow inferior or lack features that the other extenders have?

Some like the EX2700 are 2.4 GHz only (while the EX3700 is dual band), others like the EX6400 does offer a total link rate of AC1900 only (compared to the EX7300 which is AC2200 and supporting Mesh [same SSIDs]).
