I agree that it is wild that wanting to be "apolitical" is controversial.
Sadly though, I think that it has become almost impossible to be "apolitical" due to how politics has creeped into every facet of life.
What is more wild to me is that statements like "black lives matter", "climate change is real and a problem", and "the coronavirus pandemic is real" are political. These seem like they should be commonly agreed upon facts.
If those statements are political then it is much harder to be apolitical.
Are AirPods any worse for the environment than any other electronic device? You could argue that they are unnecessary but they don't seem to be any different than older bluetooth earbuds or any other device that is plastic with a rechargeable battery.
