Well yeah, but it would be way more expensive and you would have orders of magnitude less data. There are also issues with biased sampling.
Point being, the search wouldn't be as good.

One thing that grinds my gears is how the article is shoehorning all these examples of zero-sum bias into a precisely zero-sum situation. It doesn't actually have to be zero-sum for that "bias" to become rational. For example, prisoner's dilemma (which would actually better describe most of the situations put forth in the article).

Brand is certainly a dimension in some cases (see: Apple products) but it's inconsistent per consumer.
