I'd word the conclusion as: it's bad for things to cheaper than what they would cost in a world without slave labor and environmental destruction.

Alternatively, a slightly different conclusion is that in some situations it is bad for the market to optimize for cheapness over quality. E.g. perhaps it would be better if we optimized for people to have fewer, higher quality garments. This conclusion gets into the boot theory of poverty.
