>"never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity"

and that for the execs and the likes means "never do malice as malice, do it under the guise of stupidity". The VW diesel-gate comes to mind - they skillfully spun it like it wasn't VW malice as a company, and instead like it was some rogue employees.

May be you believe that you're saying. Yet giving the MBA types in charge of the company, my bet would be that they intentionally targeted youth while blaming it on whatever incompetence and chaos you're describing.

But then why would they intentionally target a group who has little to no money and can’t legally buy their product? And somewhere juuls advertising style got twisted and any ad not showing an adult (read over 30) is targeting youths?
