you can be pragmatic and choose not to buy from certain companies whose behaviour you consider egregious, while at the same time not having to worry about each single expense you make.

Deciding what bank you will get your home loan from -> not something you do every day, it's ok to do some research

Deciding what cafe you will get your next lungo from -> not worth your time

Isn’t that the same as “just avoid things you’re morally opposed to as time and energy allows”? Why even bother with taking a moral stand if you only do it when it’s convenient?

It's less of 'when it's convenient' and more 'when it's worth the effort'. Perfection is the enemy of good and all that.
