"There must be a term for this kind of question." I agree. It might be summed up as "Why other people have different preferences than I do ?" "Why do people buy expensive clothes/cars/watches/tech ?" Mostly because other people are different from you and will place different value to things than what you might. Their financial condition might also differ from yours, and maybe $800 dollars are pocket money for them. It is surprsing in how many contexts the same concept can be applied: "Why so many people complain about bezels ?" Because other people are different from you, and possibly will place more value on a phone's aesthetics rather than its software or processing power. TL;DR A lot of other people are different from you. It is surprising to me how this does not seem to be common knowledge.
