E-waste and sound quality are absolutely good arguments against wireless earbuds.
With your logic why should one upgrade anything? Do you even follow this strict mindset? What phone do you use now? Why not stick to a Nokia flip phone. It still functions perfectly fine. Why buy new clothes, it still keeps you warm even if it looks raggedy.
I regrettably waited over a month to use and returned my pro 2's (these). The ANC in the Xm4s is good, sound is awesome, but the fit is garbage. I miss my AirPods Pro 2. I reverted back to my Jabra 85ts for all my devices and will be buying another pair of Pro 2s if I can sell the XM4
In my opinion, the airpods have two major advantages over the powerbeats: size and active noise cancelling. The airpods also (IMO) have a slight edge on sounds quality but I'm not an audiophile so YMMV.
The airpods case is tiny compared to the beats and comfortably fits in your pants pockets. The beats are huge and harder to transport unless you're throwing them in a backpack. As for the active noise cancelling on the airpods, it's great for doing noisy tasks like vacuuming (I like to listen to podcasts or audiobooks when doing work around the house - the ANC is amazing).
The only major advantages the beats have over the airpods are fit and water (sweat) resistance. I like the beats for working out because they stay in my ears better because of the behind-the-ear hook design.

Let me guess, you also believe that it's our responsibility to recycle in general and that it's effective?
However, even when I had a really nice pair of earbuds, I just didn't use them as often as I do my AirPods because in the end the convenience of Apple's wireless ecosystem is more important while I'm away from home than the improved sound quality.
With the Gen 2s, the AirPod Pros are creeping ever closer to what I'd call excellent sound for earbuds. The improvement was shocking and will only get better, making that gap smaller and smaller until it's basically nonexistent.
