The Mona Lisa is available all over the internet, yet people still flock to see it in person practically every day. Even a perfect replica of it isn’t worth the millions the authentic is worth. I don’t know the name of it, but people tend to prefer the “real thing” even if they can “experience” it elsewhere.
My point is: even if a perfect 1:1 scale replica of the Eiffel Tower existed, people would still flock to see the “authentic” one to “appreciate” it.
