One big problem here is that really good artisinal manufacturing is quite difficult and often comes and goes based on a small number of dedicated patrons. Fear of fear of missing out could be quite disruptive and eliminate many potentially interesting or even important edge cases.
Bottom line: The advertising driven internet is full of crap and fueled by privacy invasion.

Users who are aware of this are forced to spend a lot of time and effort trying to block most of it.

Exactly, but I think the biggest part of the users isn't aware and is deliberately pressured to buy/sign up/whatever...
