The great paradox of the modern world: Artificial materials and products are cheaper and easier to buy than natural materials and products.
There's a Russian saying that translates approximately as a fish searches where it's deeper and a man searches where it's better. But it should be a man searches where it's easier. People tend to go the easiest way available, and the artificial industry offers that easy way out.
However, breaking the rules of nature causes problems that are 'solved' with new 'developments' of industry that cause new problems, making another turn in the vicious circle. That's how what was initially supposed to make people's lives easier keeps making them more complicated the further we drift away from the natural world.
