I think that's probably always been true. But the one thing I do know is that humans are never going to be convinced to choose to be socially responsible by folks who pick popular (but ultimately not very impactful) causes de jour to build their campaigns on. They also tend to respond better to those who put their money where their mouth is. People who still quietly continue to use many truly wasteful technologies on a daily basis are probably not the best choices to try and convince others to draw arbitrary lines in the sand against using the rather piddly ones (like charging inefficiency). A day without toast in today's world would save far more resources than a day without wireless charging. Pick better battles.
