Well I can say for sure I'd rather wear long lasting, tested (second hand), human made clothing rather than Shein Slop

Sure, and I don’t disagree, but goods and services still need to scale to billions of people. Most people aren’t going to start knitting their own clothes, or have the time to, just like most companies probably won’t rely on fully hand-written software if cheaper automated alternatives are good enough. What you want or enjoy is one thing; the reality of society is another.

By this logic, all non-outsourced development should be dead already.
