If you think about it, costs might go down overall, but the difference will be made up by less educated/aware folks getting raked over the coals by predatory practices. It’s a step towards a more Darwinian society.
It would be Darwinian if the predatory practices hurt “less fit” people the most. And that would be evil in itself, and also detrimental to society. However, they will just hurt poor people, which is most people, as companies will just go “what are you going to do, sue us?”
The problem is that this will just hurt 99.99% of people. Wealth is not a good selector because it has practically no gradient. Pretty much nobody but a very select few have enough wealth to combat this.
I’m saying that it’s like you went into a zoo and started randomly shooting the animals there and called it a selection pressure. Nothing will adapt to survive bullet wounds, they will just die.

That’s what I meant, but maybe I wasn’t specific enough. In modern society, wealth is what makes you more fit for survival.
