Maybe it's a combination of beneficial vitamins that are...uhh...beneficial.

Didn’t Linus Pauling make a similar claim about Vitamin C trials; i.e., they were never done at 4,000+ mg and so positive effects were never seen?

You have to be careful with the fat-solubles (Vitamin E is one) - they can accumulate in body tissue and produce the effects of a much larger dose than you think you're taking. Vitamin E is an anticoagulant as well as an antioxidant, and 3200 IU's is well over the dosage that can produce these anticoagulant effects - fine if that's what you have in mind, not so good if you don't like to bleed.
That said, I'm a megadose experimenter and have been for a quarter century now. You have to stay on top of it and know what you're doing, but other than the third arm growing from my forehead I haven't had any ill effects. ;-)

Compared with placebo or no treatment, intake of vitamin E in amounts of 400 IU or more daily for longer than 1 year increased the risk for death. Whether lower amounts of vitamin E increased or decreased the risk for death was unclear....snip...
Adults should avoid taking vitamin E preparations in amounts of 400 IU or more. Experts should reconsider the stated upper tolerable intake level of vitamin E. Sellers should consider removing vitamin preparations that contain 400 IU or more per dose from stores.

First it’s good for you, then it’s not! What’s a person to do?
I don’t even want to take my Calcium/Mag/Vit D because I heard that you should put one in vinegar and it it doesn’t dissolve, it might not dissolve in your system. I did it and the pill just sat there...24 hours and it looked just the same as when I placed it there.
So-—do I get my $$’s worth? Sounds like in a few years they always change their minds.
