I wish there were actual choices for people though, they may as well not exist with how rare they are. Great if you are lucky enough to get one of course but most are not.

Wish that was possible. Unfortunately, at least in the US, most industries are consolidated into a small handful of giant corporations with tons of money so unions, much less co-ops, are impossible. I mean, even Ben and Jerry with all their money weren’t able to hold off the hostile takeover of their company and slow transitioning into a crappy, overpriced product. So sad about that one since it was one of the last remaining grocery store icecream brands that didn’t fall prey to shrinkflation of smaller “pints” and whipping.
