That seems to be the case with many businesses. Nobody wants to lose that entire market just to stand on principle.

Google opted out of the Chinese market because it violated their principles? They didn't try to make a censored Chinese version of Google?

A part of Google tried to do so and the majority of its employee (enough to scare its senior executives) fiercely rejected that attempt, so it gets overturned.

Is that true? A _majority_ of Google employees protested Dragonfly? Last I heard there was a petition with just ~1% of them on it.

China is also the place where most of Apple products are produced, this matters a lot as well...
