Considering the difference between a golden lever and a JLF is like $110 and the difference between an 8 button set of HBSFs and OBSFs is around $30 in Japan (and I see a lot them with only 6 or 7) it's not quite on the same level. But even there the price and garbage distribution is enough of an issue they've been trying Gravity KS instead a lot (those have an issue with false inputs though). Well keep in mind one of the reasons Japanese swap buttons a lot is because they live in thin walled apartments and are dealing with noise so they're looking for quiet buttons without too much tradeoff.

Speaking of which the prototype Seimitsu silent button they previewed 3 years ago is so far vaporware and they've instead releasing their own MX switch button, which is a shame because the two piece design that only had the elastomer part on the bottom instead of for the whole plunger seemed like it wouldn't have the issues the OBSFE does with the rubbery button caps for me.
