A lot has been said about how we represent government fees on @atlys:
1. Every country calls its visas different names - SDF for Bhutan, ETA for Kenya etc. As a customer, it is very confusing to understand what these terms mean but it's easier to know that it's going to then Government directly. Hence we use "Government fees" everywhere. This is also based on numerous experiments, surveys and user research.
2. On Bhutan, we only offer a 15 day entry permit (SDF) currently. Hence, 1200 x 15 = 18k. On our page, we clarify a) it's 15 days only b) that it is SDF c) history of SDF and why it exists. If someone wants to go for shorter or longer time, they can apply directly. For many countries, Atlys still offers only one visa type yet. And i think there's nothing wrong with that.

Do UKVI authorities have no respect for our feelings?

10 mins back (at 5.30 am) the construction machines of DLF roared back into action. The noise will carry on for the next 18 hours till 11.30pm. Happens on a daily basis. Is it really fair on us?
