It's not that the market is stupid, it's that consumers are flawed. We are all just meat sacks at the end of the day. Our time is limited. We can't investigate everything thoroughly. I mean, if I wanted to check how many calories are in a food item and the FDA didn't make companies tell me, that's going to be at least 1000 hours of work. For one food item. One time. If I had to do that for everything I'd just starve. Software is, arguably, more complex than modern ultra-processed food. We can't audit these things. Even when we do audit, we only scratch the surface. There's billions of lines of code behind "hello world".
