Only most people so clueless about all the improvements to industrial organization, operation and process, that they do not know why specialization is not only good, but extremely good, might not have known that design of a product can not only be "franchised" out to multiple companies, but should be "franchised" out whenever possible.
If you want your stuff made by one all knowing craftsman who had done the whole thing a million times since time immemorial and knows everything there is to know about everything in his wares, you should have been born during the pre-industrial era. If you wanted to be able to afford more than 2 items made by such craftsmen during your life time, then you had better pray that you were born a king or a very rich merchant.
