I am noobie at this, so I dont understand.

Why buy new phone, so expensive, when telco contract with free phone so cheap?

Even the not free phone can pay in installment and total still cheaper by 1k or more, if sign up contract for 2-3 years.

Is there something I dont know? Any telco tricks?

Free phone is good enough for certain usage, flagship phone definitely not free.
Say if you buy a Samsung Galaxy S24 ultra, direct RRP is Rm6299. Buy the same phone from Celcom Digi for 24 months contract, you have to pay Rm193 monthly for the phone, plus Rm120 minimum for the postpaid line. Multiply that by 24 months you will get the answer.
If I can afford, I would still buy the phone at RRP and put in a prepaid sim which maybe cost rm40 a month.
