Imagine living in Pickering but your balcony and condo windows back right onto the highway as if you lived right along the Gardiner?! Maybe those will be „investor units“?

Buildings all over the city with units facing the highway. Your point?

My point is that units along the Gardiner are obviously very centrally located in one of the most expensive and desirable neighbourhoods in the city, so once would assume that tenants would be willing to accept some major concessions (to privacy, noise, air quality, etc.) being right next to and above a highway, in order to find a unit there and possibly with a (relative) discount. Pickering, on the other hand, is not such a unique and well-sought out location, yet a tenant in one of those units right at the highway is still making the same concessions as someone at the centre of downtown Toronto.

People already live in these conditions across the GTA and are not along the Gardiner, these condos are nothing different. If anything it's good as it's located next to a GO station with all day transit to Downtown Toronto

While that's true, they have to put up with continuous noise and air pollution. Opening a window or stepping on to the balcony would not be advisable. For some more context regarding the cost-benefit analysis of this location for a condo, I would recommend this analysis from an urban planner:
