It seems like it’d be useful to have a jar of béarnaise or hollandaise, but I have to make those. Can’t buy good béarnaise or hollandaise. Good mayo is easy to get tho. WTF?

Because mayo suffers less when being pasteurized.
Though I suspect most people don’t realize how dull jar mayo is (even the best) compared to home made.
It’s really not the same thing. And the crappy brands are just white goo.
Helmans/Best and the other brand from Best are about it. Though someone mentioned a regional from the south east that’s apparently really good.
And again, even those are dull and flat compared to home/fresh made. Takes me less than 10 minutes, including prep and cleanup, to make mayo.
How do you make it?
You need a blender, I always do it with a hand blender, but I’ve seen a regular blender work too.
In a receptacle you add
After mixing this, slowly add 250 ml of neutral oil (vegetable/canola/…) while still blending.
You can add more of anything to taste.
