I don't think people understand the trades they're making. They see that one offering seems to do approximately the same stuff as another one, but it only costs half as much, and don't understand that the cheaper offering is one one millionth as fixable as the more expensive one. By the time it fails, they forgot the circumstances under which they bought it, so they may never connect cause and effect.
