From this reference: "Solipsistic and dazzled by its own swirling universe of technical possibilities, IBM was self-gripped by a special amoral corporate mantra: if it can be done, it should be done. To the blind technocrat, the means were more important than the ends." How much this sounds like Silicon Valley today.

If it can be done someone will eventually do it. Make sure you do it first, or your enemies/competitors will do it first. It's really just a rational survival principle.
