Yeah, create the problem and then provide the solution is one of the best business models.

Climate change is also making people rich now due to this logic.

It is saving anyone from having to actually innovate. Remember when there was a rush of "but on internet" patents and businesses? Well, now there's a bunch of "but green this time" businesses. Not to say they aren't needed, but redoing the last 100 years of tech isn't really moving us forward.
