Not necessarily because of the general populace, though. The general populace will buy and use what's there, and especially what's cheapest. In general, the general populace will destroy the planet if it saves them 5c.
The manufacturors, though, made the choice. And that's the important bit here. The people who needed to make the change went and made the change. It wasn't left to the general population, it was done by those who actually needed to make the change.
