I'm not here to "be correct about somebody's particular definition of words," I'm here to try to get people to make better decisions and actions in the world.
It is absolutely the case that the definition you are using can serve as a technically correct one. But that's not very important. What is important is that real people are being harmed by exploitative technology, and you handwaving that away as if it should be a dismissable part of the conversation is you doing a bad thing.

I’m not handwaving that away lol. You asked whether people could explain why they prefer iPhone over Android. We’re far afield from the point that I (thought?) I was replying to, so I’ll wrap it up here. Have a good weekend!
"Good product," at least in English, generally means "a product that people successfully and happily use for its intended purpose." It doesn't usually mean "a product that does good in the world." There are plenty of very good products that don't do good things in the world. If you're operating in real life as if these are inseparable features of an object, please stop.
Well, I suppose you can carry on. Again, if it's useful for you to believe everyone else is an idiot and that, now, good product == product that does good, go ahead. I think this is a very low-resolution picture of reality though, and is probably the source of some of your confusion.
