"Companies don't use packaging to fool consumers" is not something that you can deduce from "some customers are confused about a specific kind of packaging".

And even for chips, "bag of air" isn't the only viable packaging method. Of course others aren't without tradeoffs either.

But "when people complain that the purpose of packaging is to fool consumers, they are being stupid" is something you can deduce from that.
