It's the same everywhere. "Best" seldom wins.
Ask 100 people where they ate the best hamburger, almost no one will say "McDonalds" - but the place they got that best hamburger has almost certainly gone out of business, while the clown remains, year after year.
A corollary to to this: if all you've ever had was a McDonalds hamburger, you may very well think it is the best.
Compounding the problem, when presented with a "better" hamburger, you're likely to insist that your McDonalds burger is still the best, since it is familiar to you.
Humans are weird.
