Yeah, this. "Terrible" implies a framework of better and worse, and his axes don't align with everyone else's.

And even in economic terms... the way free markets work is that we let dollars decide which resources go where. That's the "optimal" distribution of scarce resources - they go wherever most values them. So his distribution is in fact economically sub-optimal. I value having some RAM more than he values having one more increment of RAM, so I get some and he doesn't.

He doesn't like it? Not my problem. Not economic theory's problem, either.
