Thats how you get products that build their marketing around the idea that consumerism of “good” products are how you fix the problems.
Which its nice to have products that don’t suck, but I do think it is unhelpful for us to think buying stuff is what will solve the problems, even in cases where people largely respect the companies behind those products (framework, the steam deck, etc)
I’m excited about those kinds of products, but I try not to let myself fall into thinking that buying the right stuff is some kind of meaningful labor that will help fix the world
