Races to the bottom are incentive driven as anything else

Sure because the incentive is always quick and easy money.

Apple nearly went bankrupt in the late 90s early 00s by avoiding the race to the bottom of the PC industry till they pivoted to music players. Look at the auto makers today.

Unless you can convince customers why they should pay a premium for your commodity products, you will be wiped out by your competitors who do not refuse the race to the bottom.
