But I can build a hamburger at home for less money.
In 3.7L?
Yes you can. And yet I bet you've ordered pre made food before, or food delivery.
You've probably bought plenty of things you could've done yourself for cheaper. You've probably hired handymen to do things like install washing machines, or movers to transport your stuff, or painters or roofers or cleaners. All of those things are cheaper to do yourself. Do you portray people paying for those things as idiots in memes as well ?
Convenience has value, and it's not weird, or inconsistent or stupid for people to be willing to pay a premium on the convenience of someone else doing things, even if you could do them yourself. Especially because a large convenience factor is that if someone else does it, someone else is responsible for fixing it if it goes wrong.
