The reference is to the artificial problems they create out of nowhere, especially the highly destructive ones, not the problems that cannot be helped. Social media for example has created serious problems with mental health of users, which could be eased dramatically if engagement and exposure wasn't gamified and manipulated, and if there was less of a focus on engagement and closed content. Many laptops and smartphones are now rendered obsolete quickly by software updates as new models are released every year by manufacturers, this creates a huge pile of waste that in turn pollutes the environment. Most of the negative aspects that have made product reliability and quality decline, along with dramatic price inflation are market-driven... The better way to counter market-driven innovation (in just one of many possible aspects mind you) is to create enduring and properly-priced products that don't get thrown away each year (at the expense of record profit) obviously.
