One simulator would just "run the laws of our universe" (I don't care to make that precise, since presently it's a trivial statement, but hopefully it's clear that I mean to distinguish it from running a computer), but then that sort of trivializes the idea of "simulation".
Maybe it's possible for us to create a sub-universe of ours with a quantum computer such that we view the entities as a part of our universe, but the entities cannot be aware of us. (This is the insects at the surface of a pond idea, unaware of the dimension above or below.)
The story I heard about most Netflix content going for very long is that after two seasons a show's cast unionizes and they didn't want to pay up and they'd rather cancel shows, which seems awful penny-wise pound foolish of them.
Overhead of small volume manufacturing. If they make all those variations and intend to continue existing as a company that makes money selling things, it would have to be at a price where no one's going to buy one. But if I start an Etsy store selling one-offs at $399 each, people can grumble about my price, but it's not on Framework.
If all you care about is looks, that is. Get out of any other car and you forget you can't just walk away from it and it'll shut itself off and lock the doors. I've had my Tesla driving friends drive my ICE car, and then not even turn off the engine when they go into the store because you don't need to do that with a Tesla.

A lot of cars have that. My (gulp) BMW EV for instance. Newer BMW ICE cars too.
But sure, some brands have had problems getting it to work for some dumb reason, recently, even the keyless entry part, which really has been a solved problem since at least the 2010s.
Replit gets a total fail for me because the AI integration took the homework assignments I was giving my students, read the instructions to them, and then did their homework for them! There wasn't a way to turn it off when I talked to support, so I just had to tell my students "pretend you didn't see that". We moved off of Replit asap, after that.
