Yes, they would.no clothing company would survive the moto of minimalist wardrobe, after they sell their customer the best strongest jeans that will last a decade or more in urban activity, or triple stitched horsebutt boots that should last 3x lifetime... then what?
Because they sell an idea that is completely irrelevant for most people in practice, because very few people are actually minimalists. But you could if you wanted to, and that counts. I.e. I would then have a pair of pants that lasts forever, but why would I not want to have 5 of them? Leather jackets also last forever and we have several of them.
