Not everyone has the financial space to spend more for a more ethical product. Some are so poor, it’s the only thing they can afford. A hamburger is $1 but a broccoli is $5. A Primark shirt is $3 but a fair trade cotton shirt is $35. Many have minimum wages. It’s either a sweatshop shirt and a hamburger or a fair trade shirt and no food for a week. When you have more money it’s easier to buy more ethical products but sadly people with more money also consume more products and often buy sweatshop products non the less.
The poorest people I know seem to make the effort and even support tax increases for social services. The wealthiest people I know cannot be bothered to do the right thing. People just shrug and say “I don’t want to think about that.”

Buy second hand at thrift stores and there’s a lot of facebook groups dedicated to giving away free stuff
