Like... I don't think that talking about it in terms of people being lazy, or as a moral fault, makes sense. That's kind of what I mean by talking about rationalization. From a consumer's perspective, if you have the option to get the thing more cheaply and more convenient, it is in a real sense irrational not to do that. From a supplier's perspective, if you can cut costs and do your business in a way that's cheaper, likewise. And over the long term and on a long scale, that rationality has an enormous weight that's almost impossible to ignore. It's wildly unrealistic to expect people to make less convenient, more expensive choices with no actual account for why they would do such a thing. It's just against all expectation of human nature. It's not how people work.

Now, there is a problem, which is that the outcomes of rationalization in this sense and on this scale often are actually worse at meeting the real human needs of people and often have really massive negative externalities. I completely agree that's a problem. It's a massive, huge, really hard problem that's already causing immense harm and that's only going to get worse. But pointing that out is not a way of stopping the process. You need some kind of actual way to deal with it. You need a structure and incentives and reasons. Sticking your fingers in your ears and hoping people stop being lazy is bullshit. It is not an attempt to deal with the problem. It's never going to work.
