Yeah, law of diminishing returns, or Pareto frontier, whatever we can call it. The "moderate" amount seems to be where capitalist elite leeches tend to try and focus on as far as salaries are concerned, so that people keep themselves busy in the rat race, outpacing each other like enemies. Expensive brand stuff mostly exists to give this perversion an ecosystem.
