People also will pay a premium to some local craftsperson who makes artisanal stuff

I won't, unless it's for the art aspect of it or to help a specific developer/artist that I want to see succeed.

But by default, I'll pay a premium for high-quality very precise and reliable consumer goods that undergo strict quality assurance processes, mass produced or not. If artisanal stuff has less quality, I'm not inclided to pay a premium for it in the general case.
