I think this thinking is flawed. First, it presupposes a linear value/cost relationship. That is not always true - a bag that costs 100x as much is not 100x more useful.
Additionally, when you’re in a compact distribution, being 5% better might be 100x more valuable to you.
Basically, this assumes that the marginal value is associated with cost. I don’t think most things, economically, seem to match that pattern. I will sometimes pay 10x the cost for a good meal that has fewer calories (nutritional value)
I am glad people like you exist, but I don’t think the proposition you suggest makes sense.
