That chart is rather unfair. The airplane is far more useful of a tool of the modern age than it makes it look like. It has always been expensive to fly. I preume Pornhub is free, just a guess. Free access and something anyone in the free world can go to, yea, that is gonna have a lot of users.

The version of history I read is that VHS was cheaper than the superior Betamax, and that lead to adoption by the porn industry and it's many consumers - this was a tipping point, and VHS won the format war.
Follow the money.
Rest of your examples follow suit regarding low cost or free access.
