Yes, that's objectively better. At least you have a choice to buy less frequently, or in smaller quantities. I was raised during the communism, where you did have a lot of cash, and the goods were cheap (because government was deciding both salaries and prices), but they were simply never in stock. It took a lot of time, effort and sometimes actual bribes to buy anything. That's what you get when you try to artificially limit prices.
Your anecdote is not an immutable truth but a memory of an intentional political act and training.
Very different early education can make a huge difference. But when you start out decades ago with a bunch of inept adults making an angry mess of their country, you get as you describe.
Stop living in your memory as if it’s physical law and not the result of shit leadership.
