Your personal preference when it comes to not caring about battery life doesn't change the fact that Apple watch battery life is amongst the worst on the market. Just like if you don't care that your laptop has only 2GB RAM - that

Security is hard, and determining what is worth paying for when it comes to security is arguably even harder - there seem to be a higher than typical amount of snake oil salesmen and grifters in the industry.

I mean, I gave you multiple examples of some of the most powerful people that ever lived, none of which fall into this category you call the 'norm'. You just completely ignored that and continued with your baseless fantasy.

I would imagine that if humans were immortal, the centralization of wealth and power under a few families would be even more extreme. Which is probably not good for the vast majority of humans.
