    It’s not hard to find examples of products where prices have gone down. Prices for literally all electronic goods have been decreasing for a long time, for example.

      Price for performance in electronics has gone down: the end device has only gone up.

        I’m not sure how you’ve decided to arbitrarily normalize “performance” but normal people are experiencing price drops in many categories. Here’s a bunch of other stuff that has dropped in price. Lots of things have been commoditized and benefited from economies of scale, leading to lower prices over time.
