Because in this society, being a green bubble can lead to social exclusion.

That's a Society, more to the point, an US Society problem. I've never heard of such vanity before.

There was a study iirc that found that people are more likely to swipe left on dating apps if you have an Android. Thankfully, I don't think most people are like this, but enough are for it to be a problem.

I don't care though, people who think like that are not worth my time anyway.
