It's more a comment about what we value as a society. An Apple watch is an utterly optional accessory that nobody needs. And yet there's a bubble of rather wealthy people who will buy them without really giving it a second thought, and another large group of people who really can't afford one but will buy it anyway.

Man that’s so deep - some people are purchasing things while other people cannot purchase said things.

Society is so screwed :/

There's also a bubble of wealthy people who spend their time commenting on HN articles, complaining about .... other wealthy people.

For what purpose? Virtue signaling?

And? People buy what they want to buy. Apple builds what people want to buy. Been like this forever.
