It's not just learning is it, why do people buy hand ground coffee when there quite literally isn't any difference? Or audiophile snake oil? As long as humans are still the consumers, some part of consumption will be emotional. Could be to support local artisans, could be gullibility, could be love, whatever.

Maybe one day artisanal code will be a thing lol. Hand written like calligraphy. Those with refined tastes will have their favorite code artisans. And the plebs can continue with mass produced industrial junk.
