Silver Chitin wrists are regularly worn by rogues for 9-10k per pair and a large part of their value is the 40 HP each. In a vacuum 80 hp doesn't sound like much, but every part adds up and helps your surviveability in the middle of a dragon ae.
The +25 for 200k was hyperbole, but we see how much value 40 HP, or 80 HP adds to an item, and how some of the most top end lusted after gear tends to have a +100 HP stat line. In a vacuum "how much does 100 HP really mean to a tank or melee character?" but in reality people are clawing over each other to get their hands on it. Even items with +50 HP are really really good items short of the bleeding edge ToV level stuff.
Bottom line STR is trivial, STA/HP not so much. Starting with the points in stats is absolutely important, but not worth rerolling over either if the time to level is valuable to the player.
