It's a rip-off, yes? I mean, it does nothing that vaseline doesn't do
for a fraction of the price. Or am I missing something?

Silicone dielectric grease has a higher melting point. Vaseline is
petroleum based, rather than silicone based. Use it if you want, a small
tube of admittedly expensive dielectric grease lasts me for years. You
can buy it in a larger size and save a bit.

Sure I've mentioned this before, any lanolin-based grease not Vaseline, was
one of the long-ago-learned points of battery maintainance.

Holts NoCrode.
Made for the job, my pint tin of the stuff is around 50 years old and
still half full, a little bit goes a long way.
Not sure if you can still get it though.
