Marketing, its all just marketing.
Personally and here at the daycare I tend to lean toward baby led weaning out of convenience. I keep a few jars of food around for those days we're having omelettes (and I don't want to separate out yolks and cook separate) and such.
Baby led weaning here also. I do all my food from scratch too... I keep a few organic food pouches on hand for power outages & in the go bag in case of evacuation; all mine are under 21 months
