Sounds like HN users represent an underserved and untapped market and are being rational market actors while discussing their preferences.

One of my favorite examples of this is when HNers insist that if only an auto-manufacturer would make a simple car with tactile buttons and no screen or creature comforts it would sell like hotcakes.

I think those could sell, but you'd have to make the screens a luxury trim item again. Which could honestly happen if vehicle Right to Repair laws happen.

But we're way off topic here. :D
