You just explained why capitalism is a problem when there's nothing keeping it in check.

I think the problem isn't with value engineering directly. Nothing wrong with optimizing a process/materials to reduce the cost while keeping same requirements.
The problem is that durability used to be a strong requirement, but isn't anymore due to a neverending search for profit growth. So you have short-sighted things like that, slowly destroying good brands quality.

First I hear about plant lives matter.
What do they eat? Like, it would be really stupid to eat meat (because eventually the animals are either eating plants or animals who do), and probably not plants either.
I guess that leaves fungi? Although if plant lives matter, surely fungi lives do, too (we're more closely related to fungi than plants for comparison).
Going back to WHAT DO THEY EAT?

I think the issue is from both sides, offer and demand. Definitely the consumer has a responsibility too.
