Most people buy digital cameras, but some people still like old analog film based cameras and still use them.

You can buy a chair made in a factory, or you can buy a chair custom made from a local carpenter; you just pay more for it. There's still a desire for the human touch, the craftsmanship and people are willing to pay more for it.

I mean you can grow your own food, buy it from a factory farm, or buy it from a local hobby farmer.

You can use a horse and buggy, walk, or drive

Yes but all your examples have some advantage to using the older technology that is not easy to replicate. What if the people consuming your products have no way to know whether they actually have a “human touch” or not.

This means that any hobby or effort is purely for your own self benefit. That is fine with me if I can feel accomplished knowing that it’s not an easy thing to do, but if literally anyone could basically wish up a better version of my work with no prior skill or effort, that takes the joy out of it.
