Oh of course. This is all fully right. It's just... companies just don't care anymore. Not just Amazon/Tesla/Meta; but all companies. We have cars shutting themselves down because the company's servers decide that car is overdue on payment. AI bots are driving people insane, and yet every company is shoving it down our throats. Every appliance breaks down in a few years and the companies will send suits to right-to-repair hearings to say, openly, that they prefer making piles of waste for money.
How about Coca Cola and Nestle—food companies that have killed their workers and use child slave labor to source goods. This is all known, and they don't care; I think because they are confident most people won't think about it.
