That is needlessly harsh.

If you look at the amounts of heavy metals RoHS has prevented from
entering the consumer waste stream, it has made a LOT of difference.

I 100% agree that RoHS is far from optimal, but making it sound
like empty a potempkin village is a gross misrepresentation of its
effect.
