If the effort required is too high compared to the benefit gained, most people aren't going to do it (I imagine hackernews readers have a much higher tolerance for this!). That's why monopolies in technology are so dangerous in my opinion as when you can force a "good enough" product on customers competitors aren't going to get any traction unless their product is significantly better. This means companies don't try to compete so the customer misses out on the incremental improvements from sustained competition.
