Is probably true. However, one should question their world view if they measure everything as a minimization problem with respect to cost efficience and yield.

250 years ago people would rent pineapples for parties as status symbols because they cost $8000.

Nowadays the most expensive pineapple you can get is barely $400.

That's progress

If it helps, I could sell you a pineapple for more than that.
