Are you sure? There are more bicycles in the world than cars.

Again, that does not make something more valuable. The engineering that would go into a lunar orbiting plant pot would be very complex, but has no value.

There are far more bicycles than cars, but 99% of these are very basic cost-efficient designs , probably sold for less than 100eur new

The discussion was about the engineering value of a 10k bike (or a 100k watch I guess) - it’s more of a luxury good than an engineering necessity
