In the end it's about money. If one had to pay for environmentally damages (e.g. a new tax on $energyUnit, $resourceUnit,...) and you'd not only pay for the resources + some markup for the producing company and just external externalize the "worth" of the damages (read: the taxpayer,....), then it's cheaper to use these services instead of humans.
