People don't want to do it and they don't want to learn to do it. It's easier for them to buy a new knife. They're not expensive. Maybe keep the old one for garage stuff and gardening.

All you have to do is run the knife through it a few times for a decent sharpen. No power, no effort, no skill required.

A new knife might not be expensive, but it's a new thing that has to be produced, and packaged, and shipped, and stored, and so on. Just keep your old stuff in shape, people.
