In theory but not practice, let’s not be naive. Corporations end up serving the purpose of their owners (shareholders) which is to generate maximum profit. That objective causes the corporation to commonly behave much closer to pure evil on your scale (to generate the profit).

I'd suggest that Google has done more for the Web than any other organization in the 21st century: Google, Gmail, Chrome, Docs. Nearly single-handedly, Google made the web useful to more than hobbiests and for more than single about me pages.
