You're right that lower-end wool still has an edge, but the extent of that edge depends a lot on how it's worn and washed. Even "lower-end" wool isn't immune to wear, and cotton can hold up surprisingly well with proper care.

You're right that care matters, but even lower-end wool still has a durability and odor resistance edge in real-world use, especially when compared to cotton.
