Part of their survival is depending on consumer perception of their brand. Microsoft sold us out to the NSA for a big fat cheque. Apple and Google have been fighting doing so every step of the way. Companies that act like uncompetitive dicks should be shunned and regulated, especially when they do things like abuse the patent system. There is a real world outside of the Realism bubble. A real world where people struggle for justice, and justice, even at the expense of wasting time talking on the internet, will certainly happen.

Do you understand the concept of "national security"? If you were to invent, for example, teleporting, and you rejected selling your invention to the government, the most likely outcome would be that the government would confiscate your invention and recruit you against your will under threats of being jailed for risking "national security". There is no such thing as justice other than "abide by the law". Fine print: laws are subject to change, sometimes with good results by the perception of the majority of people, sometimes not.

  There are things inside the realism bubble too. Like nukes and teleportation devices.
