Maybe. You'd be outlawing the ability for the company to exist in the first place, since without the terms of service, the company has no business model.
However when the business model is exploitation of unwitting consumers, that is certainly a problem.
So when they are next in this situation, where a contract is shoved in their face, they actually engage their brain, instead of blindly signing away any agency they may have.
This is how we empower people. Not by coddling them and insulating them from reality.
Further, this pushes back on the contract writers. More smart shoppers means less draconian contracts. It makes room for companies that have higher regard for their customers.
Except the RH terms of service allow them to do whatever the heck they want, and every user agreed to it.
Ho hum, diddly dum. Pay attention next time. Don't sign up for services when the terms are not in your favor.

All the consumer had to do was read the terms. It is not rocket surgery.
By clicking agree, they consented that they not only read the terms, but agree to them.
Buyer beware. Stop enabling stupid consumers.
I’m helping educate those very people.

My argument is not that these services are ethical. It is the opposite. They are parasitic trash heaps.
However, you should have figured that out the moment you read the contract. And then declined the service. Instead of clicking Agree.
Stop chasing the shiny new free services off cliffs like lemmings.
