> An interesting phenomenon of human behavior is that people cannot practice charity and profit simultaneously (altruism versus egoism). It is a forced dichotomy. You have to choose and there is no middle ground. This forced choice is present even when the environment, incentives, and stimulus allow for both. This is long observed in scientific philosophy, but there is also a fair amount of behavioral health research on this as well. This may be common but it's not an absolute. There is a middle ground, you can profit without exploiting anyone, for the definition "use [someone or something] in an unfair or selfish way". The trick is to exploit using the definition "make full use of and derive benefit from", and making full use of anyone's talents and skills always includes improving their morale, which is mutually exclusive with being a selfish or greedy company.
