I agree with your take on many levels. Maybe the percentage looks like it's a quite higher than 0.05% [Nestlé reports full-year results for 2023], but still not enough to really hurt them. I also agree with what is mentioned at the end of the article:

"It's a scandalous decision which sends a very bad message about a climate of impunity: Nestlé Waters can deceive consumers around the world for years and get away with it by pulling out its checkbook,"
