That's. That's the whole point. Things costing their true value.

Business exist to make money (even non profits need to make enough money from either sales or donations to cover operating costs). If something costs them more, it's going to cost their customers more. This way negative externalities aren't swept away to become an unmanageable problem in the future. The true cost of consumption is reflected in the price we pay.

What you're describing as a bad thing is really the system working for good, as it was intended.

Fun fact: almost every phone on the market has the hardware. It's just drivers/software that are missing (and, more recently, the antenna's been unavailable with the removal of the audio jack. The radio chip is still in there though)

Kids get infinite registers and no restrictions on stack ordering. Programmers are constrained to solving it with one register and restrictions on stack put operations.

I wonder how it would look if it were a moose population density visualization. Who has more moose per square mile, Alaska or Maine?

Parks. Parks, trails, reserves, and other public recreational areas. These are adult playgrounds paid for by taxes.
