Their marketing strategy isn't just blaming the consumer, it is to sell that their product is "sustainable and green", and people instead of not buying, they buy their "sustainable and green" product that shouldn't even exist in the first place. So no, they are not wasting money on marketing, they just changed the strategy.

Coming back to people, have you tried convince someone to change their preferred message app even knowing that belongs to an evil company and making the change being a literal 5 minute task?

In my experience people aren't even trying. Just blaming the same way companies and politicians do. If we really tried our best many things would have changed already. I believe that everything we have now is just a mirror of our collective greed, and we are doomed if we expect the other (companies and politicians) to change anything.

Everyone wants change, no one wants to change. It’s a tale as old as time.
