Oh, that's an angle I hadn't considered. Thank you.
I mean, obviously I would consider what car I drive for the reasons you state. My ten year old dream of owning a car with the nifty 'T' logo is dead.
I just hadn't thought to put it into the same category as choosing a programming language.
Edit: agreed completely on production and commodification. One of my daughters refuses to shop at Shein or Temu because of their known use of child labor. My wife counters that every other vendor probably does the same, but does a better job concealing their supply chain.
