Which is precisely the point I was making, you're arguing that the market will fix this, when there are a variety of confounding factors at play.

Which ones? I'm not seeing claims it's the single most important buying factor, just that it's a problem.

I find these posts that somehow the market will fix it, and clearly if it hasn't then it's a non-issue, to be facile.

You're part of the market, if you don't believe it's a non-issue, fix it. If you're right, you'll get rich in the process.

Saying "the market won't listen to the customers" is an easy out and very unlikely, because those companies want to make money and if there was "that one simple trick" to sell more and make more money, chances are extremely high that they'd use it.

It's not my area of expertise, and I've already explained that there are confounding issues at work here.

Literally nobody is claiming that apart from people like yourself who want to dismiss it.
