The formula lobby has done a pretty good job portraying a simple scientific reality (the overwhelming benefit of breast milk is not even debatable any more, and contrary to a response you received is not "minor") as an attack on the very small minority of women who can't breastfeed. It's a convenient misdirection.
We're already seeing the same thing with the whole plastic straw thing: The overwhelming majority of people have no need or benefit to using disposable plastic straws, so to abate the conversation the narrative was quickly misdirected to the very small minority of disabled who truly need them (and who could easily and obviously be accommodated).
