It’s also really expensive

This is the reason. Conspicuous consumption is a pox on us all.

Conspicuous consumption has been a thing for a really, really long time. But at least in previous time periods the things they were consuming at least were interesting to look at. Now it's just mass-produced bullshit that doesn't even look good. For fuck's sake: They're selling stained and ripped jeans for hundreds of dollars!

Bring back codpieces and fancy frilled collars! Bring back ornate brocade and gold detailing! Bring back ornate architecture! If you're going to exploit us for our labor at least make things that look good!
