Maybe because the company is not your friend? You are paying them money (in general) for services and you are getting services. If they do 'bad things' to you, you should consider switching to something more appropriate.

Corporations don't have same legal status as people (irrespective of the meme). They probably have more rights than you want them to have, but that doesn't make them a person

Well yeah, that's what I'm saying: there's some trust involved when dealing with companies, like will Oracle pull the plug on the platforms I'm building my business on? And it makes perfect sense to switch to something else in such a case. So when Oracle acts a certain way, then backs away when in control forgetting their own complaints, how can you trust them after that?
