Perhaps that correlation with aggression is real, but medically-speaking giving older men T supplements is actually important. Low testosterone can cause and exasperate several conditions, including making bones less sturdy. As for the young gym bros and Men With Microphones… they’re more of the issue.
With the advertisement culture constantly pushing “Total T” (which isn’t actually Testosterone) and whatever, it’s a profitable market selling to men that they are inadequate and some magic pill will make them a “man” again. Not to completely disregard the actual real medical use for it, however.
The advertisements (especially on linear TV these days like cable) are almost non-stop to push mail order prescription Testosterone and supplements that don’t do anything, as well, which suggests the male ego is a very profitable market.

Some info on this from the past:
A recent market analysis reports that prescription sales of testosterone have increased from US$150 million in 2000 to US$1.8 billion in 2011 worldwide, with US and Canada driving the growth in sales numbers. Interestingly, a significant portion of men prescribed testosterone replacement therapy did not meet laboratory criteria for hypogonadism, according to a market analysis.
a recent study revealed that out of seven online-only clinics, six prescribed testosterone to an undercover urologist who had normal testosterone levels and did not meet the treatment criteria set by the American Urological Association (AUA) and the Endocrine Society.
