Technically CAN-SPAM does not require an unsubscribe link. It requires providing instructions to be removed. That could be using the text, "reply back with the word 'unsubscribe'". We put the burden of legal compliance on our users, and the tradeoff is complete control over your message content.

That's like saying a cigarette company saying "We're not the reason lung cancer exists. We just create them, and if people choose to smoke it, that's their decision!".
Which is fine, but admit you have an immoral business, and are just doing this for lots of money. Don't justify anything.

It'd be more like a gas station saying that, not the cigarette company saying that.

I mean they’re not wrong... it’s like the hospital refusing to help you give birth because having another child will worsen the ecological catastrophe on Earth. That’s ridiculous. Ultimately, the decision is yours, as it should be.
>We recommend that an unsubscribe link be added to all mass emails containing promotional or marketing content, but the decision is up to you.
An unsubscribe link is a requirement of the CAN-SPAM Act and the GDPR. Your own docs effectively say "We advise you not to use our product to break federal and EU law, but the decision is up to you". I can't speak for anyone else, but that doesn't really accord with my sense of ethics.
