Trusting companies to do the right thing has always been humanities most shameful indulgence.
Having been lied to 20 times in a row and still trusting the 21st time is a sign of other problems. It is a good indicator of a populations submissiveness. Admitting to oneself that one has made a mistake investing a lot of money in a product, takes some guts most people don't seem to have. Same as admitting your oh-so-democratic government has obviously been corrupted by the same corporate elements.
The issue is admitting this leads to admitting one was a coward for tolerating it. That's why people double down on the most idiotic positions. I've seen flat earthers and corona deniers do it same as dieselgate apologists.
Unfortunately many of the top trading companies invest a lot of money into anti-regulation propaganda. It's the "trickle down economy" of the 21st century.
