But clearly for many of them this bad choice is their best option (unfortunately). So the goal isn't to improve their lives but to assuage our guilt?

Companies that use these services could exert pressure for better conditions, just like some have done with other companies in their supply chain.

I think there is a difference between guilt and complicity, though they are related.

I have somewhat limited agency in this world, limited to the little bit of money I spend, the movement of my arms and legs, the words I speak, the things I look at, and my thoughts and intentions.
