That’s a very self-centered view that assumes one’s own definition of “better products” is universal. The reality is that most people like many of the things you or I might find useless or annoying. There are better products, but they are niche. You pay more for a non-smart TV because 1) there’s less demand, and 2) the business model is different and requires full payment up front rather than long term monetization. But who are you or I to look at the market and declare that both sellers and buyers are wrong about what they want? I’m very suspicious of any position as paternalistic as that.
