what makes this better than a contoured flat pry bar thing?
One of these
+1 to what shelbyguns said.
What is your goal/intended purpose? The mission dictates the gear...
That red handled set is probably more suited towards auto mechanic type functionality such as prying an alternator, etc. If that is the goal and you’re looking for options, look into the Mayhew Dominator series. Goes up to 50” IIRC.
If your goal is more along the lines of homeowner maintenance/weekend projects, you may be better served looking along the lines of a a flat bar (such as a Vaughan 15” SuperBar). You can use it for prying trim, light demo, etc. There are smaller versions such as a Stanley WonderBar (7 1/2” & 12” versions available).
A cats paw such as the Estwing nail puller is great for pulling nails and some prying, but the above-mentioned flat bars do a better job in getting into thinner spaces and can do prying as well.

One of these guys, his skinnier little brother, and this fella. You can get into or out of just about anywhere with those three.
I am not condoning burglary or breaking and entering but having the ability to get through locked doors and windows or other hard to reach places might be the difference between life and death.
This style pry bar? https://www.amazon.com/Stanley-55-045-7-1-2-Inch-Wonder/dp/B00002X1XS
I mean you will damage the drywall a bit, that's inevitable, but a flat prybar is probably your best bet. Maybe slip some wood under it to spread the pressure against the wall a bit. you could certainly take an oscillating tool and cut away at the wood/nails, but it would take some time if you have any number of nails.
Here you go, small enough to fit in a bag, sturdy enough to use where raw force is required and cheap enough that you don't have to treat it with any respect
