The actual issue is that people are different and there is no cure-all for the problem. Some people need exercise, some need portion control, some need special diets, some need hormones fixed, and who knows what else.
The industry is profitable because people are desperate enough to try whatever on the change it works.
It's not a conspiracy. It's just a hard problem. Especially considering that most of the industry is just telling you how to eat or exercise.
