The thing is, this is far from universal. People don't buy a substantially worse smartphone or car to save $5. But they'll accept a substantially worse product to save $5 on airline tickets.

Which two airlines have substantially different products for a $5 difference?

If you didn't mean literally $5 perhaps you can give us some real examples of cost differences?

Personally I find so little difference between airlines in economy these days. And Premium Economy is nowhere close to a '$5' difference long haul these days
