I don't think your first paragraph is true.

I don't think your first paragraph is true. Plenty of companies targeting savvy (read: up-market) consumers still use "dark patterns" to try and trick them or rip them off: Free trials that bill you unless you cancel, opt-out special fees, shady marketing that borders on spam. Honestly, when I think of the things I regularly spend money on, there are precious few where I feel "This is a great product that I am happy to support" much more common is the feeling "Well, I really need X, and they're the only ones that make an even halfway acceptable X." or "I guess Y is okay, but it's overpriced for what it does."
