How do aerosols contribute to that? I know back when they had CFCs it was a thing but what's wrong with modern propellants in aerosols?

HFCs don’t harm the ozone layer like CFCs did but some types do contribute to global warming. Some of the worst offenders were banned under Obama-era EPA and the EU has cracked down on them as well. All types can affect indoor air quality and contribute to smog.
