Not really. Try to buy different, I dare you. Used to be possible. Now we just accept it. You young folks, no idea how it used to be.

I bought a microwave recently. I read a bunch of reviews, tried a few in shops. When I press the big button it starts.
My TV is pretty new. It doesn't lag or show ads because I didn't buy an ad-subsidised one.
I have a dozen different restaurants I can go to. If I feel like human interaction, I go to ones with humans. If I don't, I go to a vending machine.
I'm quite happy having cars not run me over in the street. I've visited countries with more "freedom" and I can't say that I cared for it.

Ok maybe you did that, awesome to be you. Doesn't mean the other thing isn't pervasive and a problem.
Hitting roadblocks constantly (I travel, coffee shops are where I find them) is getting to be the norm. Never mind apologists, it is a there.
You chose to buy the crappy microwave. You chose that TV. You chose that coffee shop.
As for the car? I'm happy that my taxes aren't being spent on scraping your bloodied remains off the street. But I guess you could buy a car without a seatbelt warning if you're so desperate.
