I had thought this would just be intuitively obvious to anyone
Nothing is intuitively obvious, nothing is common sense, except maybe the UX quip about babies and breast feeding; that's a style of comment which is mostly a superiority boast.
There's a common saying along the lines of "buy once, buy for life" but pushback against it recently suggesting "buy the cheapest thing which will do, if you turn out to use it often enough to break it then consider buying a decent one". Stocking filler plastic tat might be enough to learn whether you have any interest in {jump rope, juggling, yo-yo, growing an indoor plant}.
- esotericn 7y agoSure, then you just haven't seen some of the tat that's out there. There are industries built upon selling stuff that's literally useless. It's not just bad, as another post has said it's "cargo cult merchandise". Normally this stuff isn't even on sale outside of the holiday period. The resource usage difference between a good X and a bad X is also usually fairly minimal - it's the cost difference that's much larger.
