Very aptly put wrt population. It boils down to misplaced values. A lot of decisions like led lights have to do with ignoring the value of human wellness. Even near sight is a privilege and a luxury, yet it's abused by small font on paper for the non trivial literature.
If you're comparing the decline of hundreds of millions of people, economic disasters, entire countries disappearing - with that of small fonts, I think you need some perspective.
LED lights have nothing to do with human wellness. They are just a more efficient source of light. PWM dimming or spectral differences aren't harming anyone.
