Here's an episode of the excellent "99 percent Invisible" design podcast that interviews a philosopher who ho has written about this topic! https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/673-the-score/

Can't say I blame you; it's 1% better.

Something something "1%" isn't better, it's just an infantile bragging rights distinction with an abhorrently "premium" price-tag. Fucking "1%ers" think they're better simply for being able to pay more for the same shit on the spoon.
