However almost certainly ubuitity is one measure or factor in an item's usefulness. I'd also claim Usefulness inversely correlates with miserableness in the mind, but perhaps not in practice :P depending on how boring or miserable useful things are.

In general, I think usefulness overrides miserableness simply because the willingness to do useful things, despite miserableness, is clearly tolerated and performed all across human economies and societies through time. all just depends on definitions
