A few years ago, one of the heavy hitters here in the US advertised their pickup truck beds as being made from aircraft grade aluminum. Some bicycle frames are made from 7xxx grade as well. But if you advertised a truck made from bicycle aluminum most folks would laugh at you.
Several years ago it became in vogue to mention that certain parts on armor kits were slide molded, as a selling point. A technology that had been around for over half a century.
It’s all in how you percieve it.
Some guys buy titanium firing pins for their AR-15s. A difference of nearly $20. (a lap dance at a less reputable place) And then brag about it.
