The tablets I use are wrapped into some kind of wrapper that dissolves in the dishwasher (I think it's some sort of gelatin) so there's no real waste other than the bag they came in. A big bag of tablets lasts me over a year so I really see few downsides here.

To me that sounds like you don’t use your dishwasher that often. Which is fine, good even. But the thing is, for me, the box of powder lasts like, multiple times longer. If a huge bag of pods lasted me a year, I can only imagine the powder would last three. Across the whole industry, the trivial increase in plastic waste instead of less cardboard waste is probably quite colossal, and all for basically nothing.
