Actually, no, if you cruise on over to Born Rich [1], you will find quite an
assortment of items  which individuals range from "cool" to "yech" depending
on ones tastes.

If everyone has it all it gives you nothing to discuss at the party.  In
life there is only "more, different and better".  The more sophisticated
tend to prefer different and better while the less sophisticated simply want
more.  How one morphs the commodity between one the realms depends upon the
sophistication of the marketing people, the sales people and the purchaser
trying to justify why something is "cool", "boring" or "yech".

Nothing is simply "more" "different" with a dash of "better".
