If this ever happens to you, just have another group of heroes try to stop the baddie’s plan, only to publicly fail. It shows the world has stuff that is happening whether they buy in or not.
That can be a great option for meeting players where they’re at, if they’re more about running a cosy commerce sim in your genre fiction TTRPG. Either way though you ignore a ‘refusal of the call’ moment at your own peril. It needs to be addressed, but how is the interesting bit!

I prefer the “big bad just set up the new walmart in your town that’s destroying local businesses and has paid off the guards” approach.
