It doesn’t matter if you can’t afford the lawsuit.

Add to this the fact they try to enforce mandatory arbitration - a thing that shouldn’t ever exist to begin with, in any jurisdiction, and is actually unenforceable in many.

The legal system in Australia is better because if you win a lawsuit, the losing side usually has to pay your legal fees. As a result, there’s far fewer frivolous lawsuits.

Then lack or presence thereof won’t help you, either.

I’m just saying that if you can’t afford the legal fees, you won’t be able to initiate a lawsuit even if there was no such warning on the lid in the first place.

In most of Europe, no contract can take away legal rights

Same in the USA, but that doesn’t mean they won’t try.

I’m pretty sure forced arbitration is in fact legal and enforceable in the US (at least for the most part? I am not a lawyer)

Unfortunately, the US doesn’t yet consider that a legal right. Unfortunately courts take the position that if you don’t agree with the terms, don’t buy the product. Even in the cases where you couldn’t access the terms ahead of the sale.

Exactly

This, and contract details that are shown after opening the packaging (as seen here covered by the lid) are void.
