If consumers don’t care then where something comes from them why companies waste ink on “ethically sourced” “sustainably farmed” “fair trade” or whatever? Isn’t that a foolish waste of dye?

I would argue "organic", "fair trade" is more a marketing-feel-good problem than actually solving the problem. There's always many if and buts which complete nullify the effect of the original label means and manufactures are more interested to lie to consumers.
