Skateboards with no pop. Guitars with shit intonation. More broadly: consumables that wear through too quickly and cause people to nope out of the hobby because it is ‘too expensive’, the list goes on.

There is something reassuring about quality gear because beginners don’t always know or properly understand this stuff.

With that said there is a point beyond which those returns begin to diminish.
