Yea, I just think that's a luxury for folks who have plenty of money. When you're basing your use case on 1% of use, then you're buying a luxury car, but pretending it's practical.

A practical plan is a diversion of labor that maximizes the best and most frequent use cases.

That is how most of the middle class in the US works. Now granted the US middle class is well off by world standards but they don't consider it luxury they consider it normal.

Yes, and at the same time they are whinging about the price of automobiles and gasoline.

Preferences are driven by culture in the short run and by practicality in the long run.
