I've been voting with my wallet more these days. I stopped buying Ubisoft games because of Ubisoft's own terrible actions, same with EA and Activision, and I even apply this to non-gaming media; I stopped buying Hasbro products because of allegations they're forcing Peppa Pig child actors to sign their voices over for AI use, and stopped buying from Amazon because of how shitty they are to their employees.

Very nice! It feels like a mostly thankless path in my experience, but at least you know you're doing your part.

I try to encourage others to follow my lead, but I don't know if it's working.

And Sony is incredibly stupid for trying to force a digital only future onto their customers. Most people clearly don't want a digital only gaming market, because you can't trade in digital games, digital releases aren't guaranteed to be permanent, and neither are digital storefronts. Sure, Nintendo at least carried the Switch eShop and Switch Online over to the Switch 2, and Steam has been around for more than a decade, but there's still the risk of them disappearing.
