A blender with bells and whistles is a towering benevolent achievement compared ice cream and make-up. And no one much frets about those. The only thing Hollywood makes are movies and TV. And although not really comparable, even renaissance Italy spent vast resources just making paintings and sculptures.
And when an unethical product is made, and there certainly are some, occasionally employees pressure their company to stop. That is unusual historically.
Of course there are serious problems like exclusivity due to cargo cult hiring, exploding cost of both doing business and living. And of course the related tidal wave of homeless. But even there, occasional effort is made to address them. Historically the typical pattern is for industries to blame victims for the harm inflicted on them.
While those problems are pretty good reasons not to have it in your back yard, as an industry located far away, it's obviously well above average.
