Was it all because of money? Wouldn't they (the companies and their executives) have faced consequences if they turned down an "offer" by the Nazi government?
You're generally right but I don't think bringing Nazis into this discussion is a good idea.

I trust Google to not be generally evil, but when they still do something evil or with bad consequence we should still hold them (and any other capitalist behemoth) accountable.
