Out of all the "geeks" I know, only a handful are interested in these things. From the people I have known, it is mainly people with strong political beliefs that prefer the lifestyle of DIY.
Nike pays kids 10 cents an hour to make shoes? Screw them, I'm going to make shoes myself and not give money to a large corporation whose actions go against my political beliefs.
And about the beer brewing. How often do you drink Budweiser? I never will pay for that beer, I'd much rather support micro breweries. And this is also another reason why I brew my own beer as well, to give me a choice on what kind of beer I want, yet I still support the smaller companies and not the large ones.
