Ah, it's a fair point, but synthetic brushes are pretty spot-on approximations of the natural hair ones in all aspects apart from longevity. Within a year or two, they'll have slowly started to lose their point. Think like a pencil blunting - they'll still be usable, just not quite as tightly pinched at the end.
I only have one natural brush in my collection, a 000. All the rest are synthetic - there's really no reason to pay premium for brushes used for heavy lifting.
