I seem to remember hearing when Microsoft first introduced office they thought they’d beat lotus by offering it cheaper but it didn’t. Then when they raised the prices companies thought it meant it ws enterprise grade so it helped them.

The answer is the business world is run by idiots, and our economy is a house of cards

I vaguely remember a story about how there was only one manufacturer of carabiners in the 70's and they sold them for $30. A competitor opened up selling carabiners for $20 and got hugely popular. The original company raised their price to $50 and wiped them out. Ten bucks off is a bargain, less then half the price of the mainstream brand is a cheap deathtrap.
