Maybe I can condense it with a slight example: Electronic shifting.
Campagnolo worked hard to give the shifters the "feel" of cable shifting.

With other firms, it's always seemed to be the technical, utilitarian aspect of their components.
With Campagnolo, it's always seemed, to me, to be about riding a bike.
Robbie has this one nailed for me.

For me, it's all about riding the bike.

I prefer riding my road bikes nowadays with Campagnolo systems as they just flat out work and feel right.

The rest is just a history lesson.
