America is huge and you might have to drive very far to get that second hand item. Also not everyone has a pickup truck to go get bulky heavy furniture you can't take apart to easily transport to your place. And bedbugs are an issue in some places, especially major cities. It's possible for some but not everyone.
I agree with most of your complaints, but if transport is an issue, go to Home Depot or Lowes. You can rent a truck or van for $20 a day.
You absolutely cannot rent the truck at Home Depot for $20/day. It's $20 for the first 75 minutes. Then you gotta pay for gas.
