Possibly, but the average person is wrong about a lot of things, especially those they aren't familiar with. The average person is no more an authority on luxury than they are on, to reuse your example, the logistics of running a farm. It's probably also important to draw a distinction between parvenu countries like the USA and China, where "pop luxury" item are considered luxury, and old money countries like France or Switzerland where that's much less the case.
