People really don't give a shit about stuff like this. see: Amazon, Instagram, Facebook, Whatsapp, Youtube still being popular just to name a few.
It's frustrating but yeah it's not surprising with how things are being set up. With how stress life is and how much people are struggling with money, at least most are, people will understandably take the free and convenient options that the vast majority of others also use and sacrifice this thing that it's hard to have a concept of and also it seemingly not affecting their lives. That's if they're even really aware it's happening in the first place.
(Not assuming your opinion by the way, just giving my thoughts)
Kinda what money is for. When all value is made fungible and turned into money, value that can't easily be turned into money becomes difficult to comprehend, aligning values with those who have money-authority, including making things you can't trade away seem pointless.
