Agree. And then people anchor on what the technology was like when it launched, and don't notice or account for the additional improvements and iterations that happen over time.

E.g. - I was considering a 3D printer but I had heard they were expensive, messy, complicated, it was hard to get prints to come out right, etc. But it turned out I was anchored on ~2016 era technology. I got a simple modern printer for a few hundred dollars and it (mostly) just works.
