Action speaks louder than words. It doesn't matter what people say they prefer, their actions reveal a true preference.

The majority of the population has been ok with this path for a very long time so it’s unlikely to change.

There are basic ways to act, not just talk, to support resistance to this path. And people, even some people reading this very comment, are unwilling to take those basic actions while also whining loudly and/or downvoting in angst.
