100% correct, but...this is the type of rhetoric that some industries employ to "muddy the waters" when they want to lobby against banning certain chemicals or processes.
Start with "it's complex" and "some people are just more susceptible" and you have a great platform for arguing against eg. banning lead-additived gasoline.
Then add the shifting away of blame from industry and corporations to individuals, sprinkle some "focus on what you can do" (eg. the "ban plastic straws" type useless token-gesture) or "it's that little things" and you get exactly the kinds of stuff industry is currently gaslighting us with, distracting us from high-impact but profit-lowering big measures that could be implemented instead!
Nuanced thinking can be weaponized against you just as well as black-and-white oversimplification...
