Most new and better things start out expensive. Medicine, rockets, electric cars, cars, etc.

If a new expensive detergent that's very ecological gains traction, it will either drop in price or another company will mass-market it.

Compared to the usefulness of Twitch? I'll take an eco product that can be used by everyone any day.

That usually applies to things that are totally new or a complete reinvention. They start out expensive and incremental progress or application of knowledge/progress from other fields makes them cheap and common. This detergent does not represent a fundamental shift from other detergents.
Thank you so much! And I actually laughed at the Twitch comment, fantastic =)

But genuinely, really appreciate the support =)
