You are talking about different things, when you have your life and freedom in danger you will use the best for the job, and it's not a case of preference because of pride or comfort.

This is life or death use case, and is in extreme cases that you see what is the best.

But your point is truth in the way that in not a life or death case people tend to not choose the best solution, look to btc market cap for exemple 👀😉
