Whether or not you deem the viewpoint useful, these ethical dilemmas exist. Whether you choose to acknowledge those dilemmas is your choice. But by recognizing these ethical dilemmas we can make better choices to reduce potential negative impact on others/the community/ourselves. Recognizing inescapable complicity is just accepting accountability and introduce the possibility to grow and change as individuals and as a society as a whole over time.

Former baker here. There are still plenty of ethical dilemmas in baking: fossil fuel consumption in transportation of ingredients, factory farming of ingredients, if you are employing anybody you are paying them an unfair wage in order to turn a profit. There are inescapable ethical dilemmas of participating in capitalism. Success always comes at the expense of someone else. If you are a small business then you are less accountable to laws designed to protect workers than a multinational corporation.

Seriously? I thought everybody used their phone for their primary web browser. Only time i really use a browser is at work (or very occasionally while at home -- why walk across the room when a large part of the internet is in my back pocket?)
