It's a truism that a company will try to make more money. I often find people in comments lecturing this basic in a way that feels a bit repetitive and sometimes condescending. It's not your comment, but it adds up so finally I took to replying.

Too often in these kinds of threads people start with something like "Google should have..." or Apple should..." and arguing from the position of those companies. People play armchair manager and identify fully with a multi billion dollar corporation.

I don't mind studying a business case for education, but I can't cheer on every silly action that a company ends up doing, intentionally or not.

The accountability to shareholders also seems a little like a strawman at times. With regards to Android, a few years ago you could have convincingly argued different product/marketing strategies.

Denying every single "good" action in our professional lifes because it could cheat a shareholder somewhere ... that would definitively be a strawman.
