This vaguely reminds me of Ronald Wright’s “Rebellion of the Tools.” There is a lot of momentum involved in a lot of human behaviors. People tend to prefer familiarity (including the foreign but familiar kinds.) Salience and repetition creates familiarity and it is mostly advertisements and commercial interests that drive most eyeballs nowadays in most of the world. So, in my opinion, it all circles back to to the old adage: “follow the money.”
