Well, you continue to hold the title as the champion of false equivalency. We're talking about two different things here, but if you want to go with your comparision...
We've brought the cost of home computers down and many can get a stripped down version of a powerful machine when they didn't have access before. But if I want a top of the line rig, I have to pay for it.
Airlines have become less luxurious for travel, but there are more options than there were 20 or 30 years ago and it costs less. If I want to be treated royally, then I pay more. They still get me to where I need to go on time about 90% of the time.
If you want to view airline travel as an "experience" that's fine. You have to pay more for that. But it really has become just a mode of transportation, moving millions daily, safely and mostly on time. We, as a market, don't want to pay luxury prices for that. Could airlines run better or differently? Sure, but the market isn't really demanding that right now.
