This is why we need actual regulation, and not the semi fascist monopolist corporatocracy we've evolved into now.

Its only utopian because it's become so incredibly bad.

We shouldn't expect less, we shouldn't push guilt or responsibility onto the consumer we should push for more, unless you actively want your neighbour, you mom, and 95% of the population to be in constant trouble with absolutely everything from tech to food safety, chemicals or healthcare - most people aren't rich engineers like on this forum and i don't want to research for 5 hours every time i buy something because some absolute psychopaths have removed all regulation and sensible defaults so someone can party on a yacht.

Bravo! This has to be the most coherent and well-formulated rant I have read in a longtime. Thank you!
