B. This could reduce 'greenwashing' and other exploitative claims over time.

C. The 'intransigent minority' (being willing to invest in such products) fund the initial growth of products, allowing them to gain economies of scale over time. Prices can then lower, and more consumers are then willing to purchase said products.
