Contact time. The pump. I can make a diy skimmer with a piece of pvc tube and an air stone and air pump. It will work. Doesnt make it better than say the $800 ferrari skimmer the op is talking about.
For me. Its fit. Form. And function. Cost is their too.
In the pics the skimate looks wet. I would lower the water level down in the skimmer body and let the foam build up over a day. If it needs a 1/16th turn to raise. Raise. Wait awhile. Do again. Lol.
Darker chunkier skimate is prefered over wet skimate imo.
