The illogic of rare parts

Why is it in this hobby that the parts that are hard to get/rarely seen/extremely expensive/few ever made/difficult to use nearly always sound best? Anyone ever notice this? It's almost never the parts that were made in huge quantities or are being reissued - even by highly competent and qualified manufacturers - that will get you to sonic nirvana. :)
