You are missing my point, irrespective of consumer action, the industry is actively using dark patterns to avoid revenue loss.
The industry knows that sales would tank if a product lists anything with phthalate suffixes. Much like they know that water bottles sell like hot cakes when you add 'BPA free'.
This is not about ignorant cosumers this is an actively hostile industry.
As a hypothetical P&G, and J&J would absolutely tank the S&P100 if all hygiene products with phthalates were to be removed. So the alternative is for regulators to turn a blind eye until public outcry or a class action case kicks them into action.
