I don’t believe that Microsoft was serving customers when they made Windows 10 or 11. I also don’t believe Apple is serving customers when it makes its devices

I don’t believe that Microsoft was serving customers when they made Windows 10 or 11. I also don’t believe Apple is serving customers when it makes its devices nearly impossible to sustain. Companies are certainly not serving customers when they package products in unsustainable packaging that is meant to be discarded.
While businesses may produce products/services for individuals to buy, you shouldn’t pretend that industry doesn’t make their own decisions. It’s not my fault bottling companies moved from glass to plastic, that was decided against my will. All I can do is recycle and pray they don’t chuck that plastic in the ocean on “accident”.
As I’ve said at the start, this is not to minimize the individual’s role in this, but to highlight the fact that for every piece of plastic I recycle thousands of pounds of it are produced, and that was not my decision. That was decided by billionaires with little care for anything but optics and their bottom line.

Not your decision individually, but it the collective decision of consumers to give money to companies that produce plastics
