this is not how prices work. consumers only pay the maximum they would be willing to pay for a good when there is only one provider. when there are multiple providers prices are pushed down to the cost of production. or so the theory goes.

Indeed. Reproducible builds need to be the default and enforced automatically by the tooling or things slip over time.

Does this argument hold up when the next generation is significantly different? I would take an iPhone 6 over a 5S any day.

I should clarify. Being able to add headers to a project in C++ is easy but adding translation units is not (usually). This encourages header-only libraries even when they are not really appropriate, increasing compilation times etc.
