Are expensive helmets worth it?

So...

Cycling stuff is expensive. Some things worth it to me. I was willing to spend a little more on saddle, sunglasses, clothing etc.

But helmets? If the $45 helmet exceeds safety requirements, some even having that questionable MiPS. What's the argument for $400 helmet? Is it just fashion or are they actually safer? Are they that much well vented?

Best Bell Stratus $150. POC/KASK $400. Really? I don't get it.
