I'm sure you're right about current trends.
I'm thinking/dreaming about a world where prices are orders of magnitudes lower. Is there some advantage to make tin cans out of palladium rather than tin? Then we can just do it because the metal cost is the same!
A bit of utopian fantasizing, sure. But even cutting end user prices in half should have important effects.
