These aren’t really sound points, although they’re logical on paper.

This is namely because you’re over simplifying matters. People don’t just adopt things because they’re “good”

Look at Betamax, that shit was definitely better than DVD technically but people still bought in. As much as I’d love to believe in simple, traditional economic ideals - they’re just sugar water and it’s sure to cause vision problems if you continue to consume it so recklessly

True, but most of the US already did buy into LEDs.
