You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can’t pick your friend’s nose.

Plastic fibers would be covered under microplastic concerns, and organic fibers (cotton, wool, etc) are easily broken down and don’t stick around in your system.
Plastics don’t ever go away. They hang around, and we’re discovering they hang around in our bodies too. Organic fiber stuff can be easily broken down or passed through your body.
You can basically roll your own private one with Plex running PlexAmp. You can even share it with friends (or family or whoever… Based on your interpretation of the laws in your area)
It’s not decentralized, and you have to bring your own music, but it’s something.

They technical don’t make airframes or doors either (and still don’t until their buyout of their supplier goes through).
