Of course. I'm not saying the market is right in everything "it decides". On the contrary, I think it's usually wrong in the long run - it shoots past the social optimum as businesses continue to figure out new ways to extract money from established things.

Anyway, my point is just that this may just be market at work, and not some conspiracy or minority exerting undue influence over society.

(And my second point is that, for the same reason, I don't buy the argument that shitty technology is good because that what sells with most people.)
