isn't it possible that this is just you generalizing a bit too much?
I've simply said they're just earphones and aren't going to change humanity as we know it
every brand offer some kind of earbuds, my phone came with a couple of them, never used them, having to charge another device that can fail at any moment is not my idea of comfort.
> In real life, my friends love the device.
Oh, well, if your friends love it, everyone else must be wrong then...
(it seems to me that your conclusion are based on very few observations and not representative of anything. for example you said in every city airpods are everywhere. I live in Italy, they are definitely not everywhere, they ate pretty rare. they are also very expensive for the general population , my friends with an iPhone buy Xiaomi earbuds, they are good enough and cost 1/10th)
