Sorry for disagreeing, but you clearly talk this from a privileged point of view.
For some people, buying the best tools is out of question; if they need to choose between feed the family or buy the latest Apple M2 processor, they're choosing to feed the family. For some, the allegedly saved lifetime does not pay the bills.
Of course, you said "buy the best tools you can". It is not wrong, because for some folks the best tool they can buy is none.
I am also brazilian, and we are living a hell of time. Economy is ruined, inflation is getting high, food cost is sky rocketting, and a lot of people are starving (for real). Getting the best tools is clearly way down in the list of priorities in this country.
Remember not everybody have the same conditions than yourself.
