> Anything that enables the environmental irresponsibility of AirPods is only "right" from the perspective of the shareholder.

Spare me. Companies are busy dumping waste all over this planet and you want me to care about something the size of 2 grapes?

Considering only the size of the discarded item(s) hardly covers the entire waste scenario.
Fine, consider the entire "cost" of manufacturing, shipping, etc. I'd wager my 1 pair of AirPods is hilariously tiny verses what some companies do in a hour if not a few minutes. Framing this as an environmental issue is just ridiculous. It's the same BS behind oil companies trying to convince people that not recycling is the big issue, not them.
Way to miss the point. You're going to use a lot more than 1 pair, Buster!
Oh the humanity! I cannot take people like you seriously. I could by 100 pairs and still do considerably less damage than some companies do in the time it takes me to check out.
Yes, I would care very much about 2 grapes if it cost me 150 bones and 30 minutes to replace them.
