It's an interesting idea, that scarcity and inconvenience could make one a more thoughtful practitioner.
A similar situation applies to writing. When people wrote with quills on parchment under candlelight, they did the structuring and editing in their minds beforehand. Now, word processors encourage us to vomit words onto the page and rarely do we edit them down to a similar level of quality.
