It's likely more due to the ability to patent the synthetics, and business deals and lobbying for government subsidies, etc.
Also probably taking advantage of economies of scale to find more uses for synthetic garbage they are already manufacturing to put it in more stuff, and thus be able to take advantage of cost efficiencies of manufacturing on a larger scale.
My point of the post is acknowledging the scale difference but never witnessed a comparison of cost, to suggest it mattered. Ayh know its cheaper to manufactur corn syrup versus sugar but ..curious as cost difference in total. Oil instead of fat. Etc
