Which is... even more evil? They're encouraging an externality which harms normal people but not them.
I think NFTs, along with the vast majority (but not all) crypto, are total bullshit, but I also accept (a) I could be totally wrong in this, in which case, my loss, and (b) offering rails to sell these items doesn't strike me as "evil" in the slightest.
How about the obvious breeding ground for scams, and the tacit approval by the community because all that money (assets) flows to the top?
There are more reasons, too.
Just because you don't understand someone's argument doesn't mean you should trivialize it.
One can argue that it's a bad thing (evil is still too strong a word I think.) But that's not what's going on here.
The scams seems like a very weak reason. The internet is full of scams, is the internet evil?
Apart from a working PoS beacon chain, several multi client dev nets and the last merge testnet before the real merge (barring major bugs) currently running
Offering a product is not evil or immoral. It may be amoral but that's not the same as immoral. Ultimately the market decides what stays and goes except in extraordinary circumstances.
You could say that a payment processor should morally screen their clients in general, but that seems like a stronger and not-so-reasonable statement. They do prohibit certain kinds of businesses, but I think the bar for that is very high and likely related to chargeback concerns and such.
Any consumer driven market is strongly indicative of its consumers morality, people just don't like to admit it.

So weapons-grade uranium, chemical weapons, payday loans, extended car warranties, life insurance, habit-forming painkillers, etc are all fine?
As a society, we have decided that some products are indeed unacceptable / immoral.
Payday loans, while a bad reputation, can truly help someone out in a pinch who has no other options - but often they're not presented to be as abhorrently predatory as they usually are.
Extended car warranties are pushed by the car salesman who tell the consumers that they need it when they almost definitely do not.
Life insurance is actually a wise investment for some, not even sure why you put that on the list.
Pain killers provide an essential service when used properly, the vast majority of consumer don't form a habit, and those that do were almost certainly not told by their doctor or pharmacist the potential addictive nature of the chemicals.
All those products are, in my opinion, completely fine. What's not fine is the often fraudulent advertising required to sell those products. But that's a different discussion.
