Even if we don't I assume they would be healthier and better biodegradable right?

#15Earlier quoted context omitted.
To provide additional resistance to corrosion/staining.
That sounds unlikely. It's not how stainless steel works; to bond a coating to the surface of the stainless you have to fight the stainlessness pretty hard.
One of the best indicators for not so stainless stainless steel is a coarse texture to aid in that bonding. Even some fairly expensive brands of vacuum flask exhibit this. Only way to be sure that I know of is a knife.

#19Consumer solutions for saving the planet result in greenwashing (distraction from actual meaningful change), new poisons, and growing waste through growing demand. Ecology isn't simply making correct purchasing decisions even if they feel good.
