Those are weights for basic production factory forks. Current carbon forks begin at a bit less than 300. Quality steel forks are 650 or so. Steel obviously varies a lot with length of steerer.

I have held and weighed a 1920s steel fork that weighed 440 grams. That was with a long steerer. A fork that had been raced in pro six day. Used harder than any consumer will ever use a fork. Use case does not include those who think a fork is a dandy crowbar.

For a Trek 7.1 fork weight is meaningless.
