Bad for business means disrupting the predetermined winners. Customers are confused means customers aren't buying the predetermined preferred products as winners in the contrived fiction capitalists call the Free Market.
Even their occasional loud whining about the horrors of socialism and the catastrophe that "picking winners and losers" would be is just smokescreen to cover the ugly fact that they are reliant on both already.
They do so hate market competition and seem to use monopoly power and regulatory capture in a relaxed and open way that wants you to believe this is part of what healthy markets intend.
I agree with you, though. No one is confused by the milk labeling. The powerful just hate the idea of competing. Markets are ways to distract and wear down or entertain the weak so they won't have time or energy or interest left to question those who, to quote Tytler in a way that fulfills his famous prediction in a way I doubt he envisioned, have learned they can "vote themselves largesse from the public treasury".
This rot is, as Tytler predicted, putting Democracy at risk. And loss of Democracy extinguishes any hope of us having a say in our collective future or the health of the planet. Because the capitalists clearly don't care.
