Ok, and what is the benefit of this over traditional supplements for them?
Same reason why putting fluoride in the water was the best decision ever in terms of public health value.

People don't care about their health.

Not sure if you're joking since fluoridation is still debated to this day.
Fluoridated water is the most impressive public health victory in the last 200 years in terms of lives saved and improved.
Supplements don't self-replicate.
I think the general discussion is around whether that's a feature or a bug.
