If it's commercially viable to pander to them, it can't be that much of a dwindling minority
Its viable to write an article about anything theyre dirt cheap to produce. Its less viable to create products for this audience.
I'm in this audience so I'm always looking out for the products that do try and meet these values. They always seem to fail. They spent ages designing and bringing the product to market and then sell like 100 or less units. When the major players release a version thats slightly less shit it has no difference in sales because their consumer audience doesnt think or care about the issue.
