I wish you were right, but having worked at Intel during their early battles with AMD, "bad" action is how you survive in a cut throat hyper competitive global market. The reason Intel survives today and AMD lost out big time, is the shenanigans they pulled (for years) to retain customers despite having worse tech. Every mindlessly ambitious corporate exec knows the simplest way to get ahead is to do something the other guy isn't ready to do. You can't compete if you don't have these kind of characters on your bench to do the dirty work. And every company has them and many are lead by them. The incentives for bad action will change only when the global consumption mega-machine hits some sort of breaking point. Otherwise there are too many good lawyers and congressmen already in place to keep you out of jail.
