This is mostly because people are dumbasses.

People who went the official route, getting a permit and going through a company were ok as they stayed in air conditioned places most the time. These people spend upwards of $5k and much more.

People who couldn't afford it went through unofficial routes and were forced to sleep outside and had to walk everywhere and even some had to sneak into makkah through the fucking desert.

Islam doesn't force people to go through pilgrimage unless they can do it both physically and monetarily. Also even of the ones that went through the official route MANY of them are super old with medical conditions and shouldn't have even boarded the plane.

they probably just felt it was a waste to destroy the paper lol

If it's anything like Egypt, old papers and books can usually be sold to scrap sellers for pocket change and they're sometimes resold to falafel restaurants to wrap the falafels in.

I assume this is a similar thing in China but replace falafel with the Chinese street food equivalent.

Wasn't myopia linked to lack of exposure to sunlight while growing up? The cure is literally for children to go outside more. and for those with it LASIK is the only solution.
