Is it possible that ONLY the cheap Chinese copies of this pull out faucet head are still being produced?

I have bought over a dozen of these over the years: They can last 1 month to two year each

They seem to be made out of chrome covered plastic, described as "brushed nickel" The original ones used to cost over $25 and the Chinese knock-offs go for between $6 and $20. There is also a Danby version which is slightly flatter and no more reliable
There are probably a dozen on Amazon all looking almost identical though the original may have had the removable metal aerator while the Chinese copy may be distinguishable because it only LOOKS as if it has the replaceable aerator?
Does anyone have any idea how to get hold of one of the original working ones please?

Sorry if I caused any confusion, - I am looking for the actual head shown on the link, - or at least the ORIGINAL version of that item.
Not a whole new (different) faucet.

Amazing, I would expect them to last 40 years. I think most people would expect 20 years.
The ad says "pull down"? Isn't this one that sits in a hole at the back of the sink? Doesn't pull down at all?
Go to a real hardware store. Ace is the best though there aren't as many as there are Home Depot or Lowes. But those too probably sell different brands from Amazon. Amazon has many brands, name brands, quality brands, brands one is looking for, but on many things it doesn't have every brand.

need the word replacment because a lot of these come with faucets. Here's one by Delta for $48. At that price it should last 80 years.

Shipping on orders over $49.00! A dollar more than it costs. When I look for it locally, every picture is from build.com.

Kohler $22 So I don't like paying shipping (even though it's always included inthe price) so Home Depot has 2 cheap ones and one by Delta

$32.38. Is that the same one build.com sells for 48? And after all this, Amazon has replacement sink sprayers for more than
10 dollars also. Why do you keep buying the cheap ones? The same cheap one???
NO need for the last two suggestions, after all:
Go to a kitchen store, smile, and be very nice. The store in Baltimore I have in mind is Town Appliance. They are named appliance but the one time I was there, I think they redo entire kitchens, including the sink. They are not cheap so they do good customer service including buying a new sprayer, I would think. Of course that is usually part of buying a new sink or even kitchen, so you have to be especially nice. (When my GE microwave broke early, GE has some replacment plan that brought me there. They didn't have any microwaves on display, only big stuff. They did have free candy.)

Some big cities have stores that sell salvage from when homes are remodelled or torn down, Restore I think is one name. There is a chain also, or maybe that's Restore. OTOH, maybe most of there stuff predates these sprayers, that didn't exist until the 60's iirc.
