Apart from money not being everything, it's also much "averages vs medians" (vs distributions) again.

People love using averages because they're a single number, and easy to calculate.

Medians are more difficult to calc, and distributions and percentiles are something most people are never taught, and it's no longer a single number which is easy to (artificially) compare.

Huh? Mean ("average"), median and mode are each a single number that provides a distinct measurement of central tendency.
