> The vast majority of these things are not all that important to most people

Hmm I don't think you and I share the same definitions of "most people" then, or "important" for that matter. Just to give 2 examples:

>85% of US adult population uses smartphone. The way smartphone revolution has occurred and the big role they play in our lives (entertainment, communication, public services, finances) in just 15-16 years since its invention is truly astonishing.

>90% US households have a car. ~40K Americans die every year in car road accidents. Improving car safety is literally a matter of life and death and numbers prove[1] that we are doing better over time.
