You won't die from eating that much coffee ^^most ^^likely but you would experience an irregular heartbeat, nausea, vomiting, and hallucinations.
As far as I understand the light roast push, it was a trend started by Starbucks in response to the "Charbucks" meme and, well, once Starbucks does something it's lodged in the public's brain.
Folgers is definitely not bad for $3/lb coffee.
Would I rather spend $20/lb on a pound of Stumptown coffee? Yes. But some people A) Can't afford that. B) Don't think it's worth it. C) Genuinely only drink coffee for the caffeine. I'm lookin at you, "Death before Decaf" people.
This is like when Chipotle hit the scene and Taco Bell was like "Holy shit we have to start trying now, you guys!"
Review Meta says it's on the up-and-up: https://reviewmeta.com/amazon/B010ULFOWC
I always assumed it was cheaper, and healthier, but I could be wrong.
Edit:
It's also personal preference. Easier to make, no filters needed.
30.5 oz of folgers costs 7.74 (USD) on amazon, and can make about 91 cups of coffee. that's about 8 cents a cup, plus 1 cent for the coffee filter.
Tetley's is 4 cents, and easier to make.

Folgers comes in a 865 g size also marked as a strange 30.5 ounce. Why not just 30?

>there's no vendor lock-in
There use to be and people bitch over it and they removed it.

You can say the same thing about coffee makers like the Keurig. I could understand the traditional water and pot kind, as that's using ground up beans that come cheap per ounce. You can get 30 oz of ground up beans for $7. Making say an 8 oz cup of coffee cheap.
