You're absolutely right though, price would be the difference.
That's actually the crux of my ire. To sell more... things are made more cheaply.
I know all too well how much money it costs to be poor. Now that I have means, I'd rather buy one good version than many not good ones.
The thing is, the good options are disappearing because incentives suck. People are happy to buy disposable garbage, they enjoy consuming. I don't.
