It’s literally how civilisation is built. You start using the bits you like and discard the other bits. Otherwise there’d be just one tribe with wheels and everyone else would be left scratching their arses, amazed at the culture that has developed the wheel.

Plus it’s ultimately the highest compliment you can give. You’re literally saying that that particular aspect of culture is superior to everything else which is why you’re engaging in it and not one of the alternatives at the same time.
