Exxon and Mobil are part of the industry - note that I said industry and did not specify any particular level of participation.

Is Philip-Morris responsible for lung cancer, just because they purchased and refined the tobacco and sold it to consumers? It's the consumers who bought it and decided to smoke it.

Is it government investors and subsidies that prop up failing businesses? Nope, it's vooters.

Anyone who picked up smoking after around the early 1960s (when it was abundantly clear that smoking causes lung cancer)? Lung cancer they got from tobacco is on them, IMO.
