Terrible truth and something that also phone vendors don't want to admit. Of course one can debate that without demand from the users, there wouldn't be any problem, but with todays way of living it's easier said then done. I'm very well aware it won't solve the main issue, but this type of corporate greed behavior is one reason why I personal try to shop in local stores and support those smaller companies and their employees first. Avoid companies that is known for example to mistreat their own workers is also an option. They are super easy to spot in the tech news even on this forum.
