Since the article doesn’t mention it, I went looking for the answer. The US was also opposed to this and only changed position until after the November 2024 election. Now they’re for it when they know that the Trump administration will likely never agree to this.
The profitability and market viability of fossil fuels depends pretty heavily on plastics production as a way of profitably disposing of byproducts. Take that away and they’re much less competitive with other energy sources.
Reducing fossil fuel extraction is something we need to do though. Regardless, the agreement is not talking about eliminating plastics completely but regulating their production. If you wanted to address what you described, couldn’t they regulate it so plastics are used for more durable things, like plastic lumber, car parts, furniture, etc. instead of all the endless disposable stuff?
