The other important and expensive aspect of these "sets"
is that the glass and coatings are matched
and there is absolutely no color shift when changing lenses scene to scene.

I once hired a cinematographer for a TV commercial shoot.
He didn't own a camera.
Rented whatever camera was required; film, video, whatever.
Though he did own his set of lenses, filters and light meters.
He knew precisely what the his owned set could and would deliver.
That's what people paid him for; irrespective of format.
