Personally, I would say that they are better at it (Greed). That is why they got over a Billion Bucks in the bank.
Speaking of "building your own" this is my viewpoint.
I buy a machine or computer better than what I need at the time, but not the most expensive one available. That way the machines lasts a fair amount of time and is not outdated in just 2 or 3 years.
I started as an air systems technician and know a lot of guys with that frame of mind. They say, hey build your own or do a super modification (boat or aircraft). It is fun. My answer is my purpose these days is to use the craft, to use the machine.
Yes, I might adapt something, and certainly fix things, but it is the use of an item that fascinates me, not the makings of it.
And by the way, I am sometimes the guy that is called upon when my adventuress friends run into a problem with their engines.
