Ok, should we end the marketing of cars as fashion devices? So many things could be seen as utility rather than fashion and yet here I am overpaying for tacos in the hipster part of town.

Someone is going to do it and make a lot of money, I'd prefer it to be the company that isn't actually an advertisement company pretending to be a phone manufacturer.

Yes, the economic incentives of the world are totally fucked. Do not mistake what we have currently for the best situation or acceptable. What apple and almost every phone company does is immoral and completely unacceptable.

Immoral and unacceptable according to whom and which value framework?
