Yeah, unfortunately I think that both corporations and consumers have shown that they prefer the cheap option rather than whatever not-as-cheap options might offer in terms of quality, sustainability, environmental protection, lack of child slavery… you know, luxuries like that.

And that is speaking in general, mass-market terms of course. There are often options for those who care about the things I jokingly referred to as luxuries. But when something like that is niche instead of a widespread basic expectation, it gets priced as a luxury. Ugh.
