I can buy a smartphone or tablet that's 100% unlockable and has all the bells and whistles right now, and get it delivered in 24 hours, and not pay significantly more than average.

I think the market is working just fine. (To which people usually say "for now". Well yeah, the sun hasn't gone supernova... for now)

Yes, and heroin users can go buy fruits and veggies if they want to improve their health outlook. The fact that better alternatives exist does not mean the market will reward them, which is the point the parent is making.
