If the free market provides 100 types of yogurt, even if the average yogurt quality reduces, its because the market seems to satisfy the desire of 100 niches, including a taste for the best yogurt ever commercially made

Questionable. Search costs increase as variety increases, but available quality arguably goes up with more creators/participants. E.g. AirBnB allows whatever scale of luxury vacation homes you can afford and find on the app, regardless of what happens to the ‘average’ experience
-
Any org serving a mass market degrades its quality in the search for more users/customers. This is turn causes quality to rise in price. The poor inside a gated market have a better life than the poor in an open market. The rich can exclude all poor in an open market.

At least half the subjective enjoyment of a luxury good comes from the narrative that surrounds it. Scarcity is a necessary component of luxury, so if everyone can get something, it’s not luxurious
-
Whether an item is luxurious is entirely subjective. Every moment is scarce, by definition. Relying on a narrative is a fundamental (but common) corruption of an experience. The Zen/psychedelic perspectives help with discarding narratives, turning every moment into a luxury.
