OK, I guess I've not seen it applied to civil cases. For example, I don't recall makers of cigarettes, breast implants, and/or Microsoft having to set billions aside as a prerequisite to appealing their suits. Makes me think there's more to the story for the judge to apparently want to make an appeal quite expensive for just a single person.

Typically an appeal bond, a supersedeas bond, is required in a civil case, to stay the enforcement of the Judgment, not as a prerequisite to the appeal itself. In other words, you can still appeal the Judgment without placing the bond but the Plaintiff, can proceed to enforce (collect) the Judgment if no bond is placed.
