> Are tech companies in the US making the same mistake? Yes, but slightly different, because they're missing less of their "addressable market" than the Landon prediction was. Their addressable market generally being people outside of Asia who have lots of disposable income. People in Asia tend to buy homegrown products which approach or exceed the quality, are easier to get, and cheaper. People with disposable income outside of Asia still trend toward the Westerner morphology. Still it's amazing with all the East Asians in big tech companies, that so many domestic products seem ill-designed to fit them. Meanwhile tons of my furniture and other items that are designed and manufactured in Asia and then shipped to the USA seem to be shrinking and I don't fit in so many of them anymore. Not sure if that's just selling cheap things that have less material/shipping cost, or if it's matching the optimal sizes for East Asians.
