Agree! It's just that AFAICT, it's often assumed that dysfunctional incentives are primarily or entirely on the side of product-makers rather than consumers, and I'm not so sure. CBT & meditation have a market in large part because people "should" prioritize "mental health."

It’s such a funny Trojan horse! I myself started meditation years ago because I wanted to “focus better” (ie for my work), and of course, after I became a regular practitioner, I understood how self-defeating that framing was.
