To be fair, it was a well known practice by then, and Futurama was merely parodying what was already happening.
Especially since this is from the Futurama reboot in 2010? I remember first hearing about this practice about 20 years ago, so that tracks. It's even in the episode about the eyePhone and excessive electronic waste.
