The reason why people tend to glance over Teacher and I is because 50% starting NP CEs with nice effects (NP dmg up, crit dmg up, etc.) are plenty. Plus most of the event freebies are more synergetic than starting NP + star absorp.

Halloween Princess, for example, is better for quick farming rather than Teacher and I (because if I'm going to use Waver and another servant for farming, chances are that there won't be anyone to produce the stars anyway. Meanwhile those who can produce stars with their NP like lancelot or Raikou mostly have no problem with star weight).

On the other hand, Hot Sand's star absorp + dmg up is somewhat of a rarity, hence their value is inflated. The only competitor CE for Hot Sand is currently only Leisurely Strolling, but that's for arts servants and can only be obtained through gacha.
