It’s also because real feathers are similarly durable as plastic feathers would be. Plants are very cheap to grow as well, but plastic plants are nevertheless a thing.

Plastic plants sell because they are free of maintenance, they don't wither and die, not because they are cheap to produce.

		Yes, they sell for the aesthetic. I have real plants but some friends have fake ones and honestly at a distance without scrutiny they look just as good. Hell, certain real plants look and feel plasticky themselves due to how they're composed, especially vinous plants.
