The history of industrialization, as well as most people’s consumer choices, should explain why it has so much traction. When faced with an expensive solution that permanently solves a problem vs a cheap one that kicks the can down the road a few years, people invariably choose the cheap one. That’s how we got in this mess in the first place.

Remember that people are mortal. Rather than invest in permanent solutions that grant us eternal life, evolution favors solutions that keep us alive just long enough to reproduce, then making a half-copy and throwing out the old body.
