I would go further than software. I think too much stuff is cheap. I'm not rich, I'm barely surviving. That said if things were more expensive but better I think that's a net positive. Like you can buy a 50 vacuum, won't do a good job won't last long no hope to fix anything. If minimum was a 300 vacuum but it had a 15 year warrenty, mandatory suction and cleaning ability and user fixable wouldn't that be better?
It's similar to the old boot thing. A poor man buys a pair of boots for 10 dollars and lasts 2 months. A rich man buys a pair of boots for 200 and they last 4 years.
Being poor is very expensive!
