AliExpress F28 / DT 180 front hub?

I was taking a look at various wheel and hub options on AliExpress and stumbled across these wheels.
Nothing about them was particularly impressive to me, but then I saw the front hub. Keep scrolling down until you get to the "Hub" section. They state that it's a ~95g, CL, SP, Boost front hub. It looks REALLY similar to the current version of the 180. To me, a front hub is a thing that a rotor attaches to, attaches to a fork, and houses bearings. I care about it a whole lot less than a rear hub. And, I'm perfectly fine with swapping out the bearings it it to something of higher quality down the line. So, this really intrigues me.

Anyone ever seen this sold separately? I'm going to send them a message and see if they will sell it on its own.

They want $120 for it, plus shipping.
I can order a Newmen Fade for that price. Granted, it’s 110g, but it has a warranty and good, high quality bearings. Or a DT 240 for $10 more.
