Google isn't free. It is paid for by advertising.
Try again!
Consumers do know the idea of paying more for better quality, all other things being equal (and fair). Why do Sony TVs cost more than GE TVs? Better quality. Why do people pay more for a Sony TV? Because they appreciate quality. (Could a GE TV suit you? Sure. But you accept the fact that you did not buy the best quality product around... you don't fool yourself into thinking Sony's are overrated, and therefore no better than GE TVs.)
(Or maybe you do.)
