This is an extremely good point, and I think it applies to society more broadly as well
I don't use Steam because I am unaware that proprietary software and DRM are Evil (tm) -- I use it because there's basically no other way to play most of the games my partner enjoys without devoting 150% of my free time to getting them to work without Steam and violating a dozen laws in the process... but I do buy from Itch-io when I can to make sure devs get paid as much as possible and a better platform gets some support
I don't buy things from Amazon because I am unaware that they are one of the driving forces of hypercapitalism and responsible for innumerable human rights abuses globally -- I use it because there's literally nowhere locally I can buy this obscure product... but I do shop locally whenever I can, and I don't pay for Amazon Prime
I don't vote for establishment centrists because I'm unaware how spineless, morally bankrupt, and corrupt they are -- I just don't want the literal fascists to win... but I do vote for the most progressive choice possible in the primary elections
As sick as we all are of choosing the lesser evil, it's still better than choosing the greater evil, and usually it's better than hurting ourselves by choosing nothing at all
