Counterpoint: this would prevent people who can be convinced to drink raw milk from getting listeria

You incorrectly assume the grift products have to actually do anything. Just give them a few lights and a little fan at the back which spins for a few minutes to make it sound like it's doing anything. Can be super cheap to make, it doesn't even need a heating element!

Also, it potentially keeps the people in their care who have no agency from getting listeria, which is up there with lining your pockets via virtuous con artistry in terms of moral virtue.
