I'm shocked, humans and human institutions act in their own self interest? If an institution's strongest aim is e.g. profit/preservation (as it often is) then of course it is trying to preserve or create conditions where the product or service is attractive. This often includes undermining better solutions. Just look at the lobbying money flowing through Washington DC for blatant examples. Other situations are more subtle.
