I have absolutely not posited the barriers as "irrational". Artificial market segmentation, and increasing value of product through human artistry are increasingly common and not necessarily "irrational". There are any number of products on the market that machine can make better, but we value more highly when it's made by human... in fact, that's true of a very large proportion of products, marketed as "handcrafted" or, since it's 2024, "artisanal and rustic" et cetera :-) (the line of where "handcrafted" goes from "friendly and community and positive and encouraging neighbourhood entrepreneurs" to "evil and scheming and big-corpo-deceptive" is subjective evaluation, but none of them necessitate "irrational" let alone, as is implied, "stupid") |
