Even if you buy aluminium cans, there's a thin layer of plastic lining to prevent reactions with the metal. I've also noticed lots of paper/cardboard packaging have a plastic coating.

Yes and in many cases that coating is even PFAS.
Oh yes, don’t get me wrong, I am strongly opposed to plastic or PFAS lined anything for food storage, such as cans, coated cardboard, bag in box etc. I was just bringing up aluminum as another material generally considered as recyclable.
