How expensive does the gold make this, though? Why couldn't they use something else, I wonder?

Gold doesn't corrode under all those chemicals used in the process, or other contaminants later, and it's an excellent conductor.

I'm sure a bottle of Goldschloger uses much more gold than this.

Gold is used extensively in the microelectronics field because of its electrical properties.
