I think this is a very insightful way of looking at things. So many people allow the sunken costs, the inertia of years and habit, and maybe even fear of seeming wrong about something, like you suggest, to trap them. But, the thing about economics is it assumes we are rational; and we clearly are not rational--or, only to a certain extent, within the limited bubble of vision we can manage to clear inside the fog of emotions, competing social demands, and general necessities of life that we must all contend with.
