The problem is that you think that would make the 'just' products cheaper. The reality is that the data and advertising subsidize the costs of the existing options and make them cheaper then what 'just' could sell for.

Case in point: Smeg already does this, and all their products are considered upmarket. They're just really solid normal appliances.
