Because businesses are usually run with the business in mind; not the CEO's personal lawsuits.

  I agree that a CEO's decision based on personal issues is bad for a company. For Gravity specifically, is there evidence that it extends beyond this one issue? And, in the context of this one issue at Gravity, it seems to have been a good move (at least what's been made public). Pretty much every long-standing, famous CEO has done something for a personal reason (Jobs' personal vendetta against Samsung/Android for "ripping off" iOS is an example). That doesn't mean most of their decisions are personal, or that they can't run a company incredibly well.

    Jobs' personal vendetta can easily be interpreted as public theatrics for business reasons. Making a business decision because you are personally getting sued is completely different. Let me frame it this way. Let's say I was working there and thought I was getting underpaid. I started interviewing, found a job paying 65k, and was about to take it. There's some grand announcement about how everyone will get 70k and I decide, great, I'll stay. Had I been provided with what looks to be the real reason behind the raise, I may have elected to jump ship for less money.
