One could argue that laundry soap doesn’t need a hecksher. One can also argue that men’s jackets don’t need vents (the double vent is to accomodate your pistol and sword, the single vent is to accomodate riding a horse). But it appears that most kosher consumer demand hecksherim (just like most men demand vents on their suit jackets regardless of whether they are riding horses or carrying swords). And in all fairness, based on the number of non-Jewish consumers also concerned about what is in products (GMO, Organic, Natural, etc.), it appears that many consumer are overly strictly about the goods they use. — And those in the business of selling stuff are quite willing to accomodate customers.
