Yes, except for the time when

• the mother have to continue to work to survive so she does not have time to breastfeed
• the workplace does not allow the mother to pump while at work
• the mother is too stressed or can't feed herself properly which leads to her milk supply drying out
• the nurse at the maternity just start giving a bottle to the crying baby rather than taking the time with the mother to initiate the milk production. Which leads to the milk supply to never really start properly
• .....

Breastfeeding is possible if and only if the mother is well taken care of, by her family and by the society.

The main benefit of formula is that now the society can continue to exploit women even directly after birth and the baby will still survive.

Someone stealing formula is not someone who is too lazy to breastfeed, someone stealing formula is someone who has to struggle to survive rather than spending time bonding with her child.
