A different analogy I would use is “code is now a single use plastic”. Cheap, abundant, easy to mold into any shape, and readily disposable. Sure it might pollute the existing environment and sure that might have massive consequences in the future, but who cares? You can easily make whatever you want right now at marginal costs and there’s no obligation to make sure it’s usable beyond its single individual purpose.

Sometimes it is reusable, much like you can use a butter container as Tupperware.
