I find it funnny that "seriously" in your post turns your sentence into a rhetorical one. Still I'll try to answer your question. Large companies make ten thousand software changes per year, a few of them are bound to be perceived as dangerous and nefarious. For me, the stasistical view is more useful than the attempt to find motive. I don't blame them. 99% of their changes are benign. but I don't suffer the illusion that they're consciously working in my interest. Asking, "why did they do this?" implies that that this action is different from past ones. I group all those actions together as "actions of a large corporation." edit: phrasing.
