It's a little bit capitalism

I found this video very confusing. At the last section, she concludes that we (non-rich people) are sold by capitalists the facade of luxury products with lesser quality. So I really don't understand why she claims in the title that it's not related to capitalism?

It's a bit more nuanced. The point is that it's about emulating the lifestyle of those who are on the top. It just so happens that in our current system, it totally overlaps with capitalism.

But you could have a non-capitalist system and people would be inclined to value whatever it is that the people on the top value.
