My point is it fucking should be, with modern tech and skilled specialists and economies of scale, but rarely actually is.

That all that shit isn't for us, we do not see the benefit of it.

Like in what case? Even just in terms of material and ignoring the cost of one's own time and the tools required, it's usually cheaper to buy.

There is legit only a few things where it makes sense from an economic point of view to make on your own. Most hobby craftsman don't do it for the money. There's something to be said about quality but that takes practice and hence, more money.
