Yes many years ago I figured I'd take up cooking a bit differently, bought a set of pyrex dishes only to find they were not borosilicate versions - I though I was being careful not to get what I suspected were fake pyrex my neighbours had bought which had subsequently exploded cooking the Sunday roast on more than one occasion. After I got mine I found out that no, they actually had the genuine article after all - just tempered glass. It's like buying glass for windows and being handed acrylic sheeting that should do in most cases.
Funny thing is now I end up cooking more times that not with just a simple metal pan if I'm cooking on a stove - so much is now microwave and air fryer ... I just love the air fryer for slow cooking.
The article has been an eye opener for all those once good brands dying a slow death. It's very much how the business world has moved the last few decades - amoral [1] is OK.

[1] not to be confused with immoral.
Yeah, the whole Pyrex nonsense put me off of buying anything Pyrex. I can't trust them, so I won't buy them.

I think your statement would be equally valid if you'd said "immoral" as well.
