It IS the case. Efficiency is not the only driver there is. For a Porsche the buyer wants fun and is willing to pay for it. Why is this a problem? Must everyone always be focused on the good of all society, grim and joyless, toiling away in solidarity with his fellow man?

Nearly all entertainment is a waste of energy and resources. So we should come home from our 12 hour work shifts, eat our tasteless beans and lentils under the light of a single 10W LED, huddled around our one tiny gas heater for warmth, for the sake of efficiency. . .

No, there has to be room for fun, convenience.

Notice that car makers could barely GIVE electric vehicles away until Tesla made them fun. All of the ones I noticed before that were efficiency driven golf carts and less fun to drive than a 4 cylinder Geo Metro.
