That's like suing knife manufacturers because some people stab other people.
We have no realistic short-term plan to switch away from oil. Everyone can't just switch to EVs. Most products have plastics or oil derivatives in them.
It will take a long time.

I don't think it's quite that simple. We would likely be in a much better position, up to potentially having a plan, if oil companies hadn't covered things up for so long and lobbied against regulations.

Nobody stopped anyone from making EVs or not using oil products.
We use oil because it's cheap and versatile, not because evil oil companies are forcing us.
There's no replacement for oil at the moment. Sure, you can manufacture some plastics of CO2, but they are so expensive, even you don't use them.
