This seems like an argument that is always true, and thus close to meaningless. What movies are popular? My fault. Rising economic inequality? My fault, I should negotiate harder and not accept poor treatment. Climate destruction? My fault, I didn't choose the most environmentally friendly options every time. Rising obesity? My fault.
It's not wrong, but it's not very satisfying, and we should be looking for more insight and more reliable solutions. "My plan is for 8 billion people to change their habits" isn't as reliable as "let's regulate 100 companies".
