The key word is "claimed". I was amazed and amused at the time that Google rolled out its "Don't be evil" slogan at how many otherwise intelligent and world-wise (i.e. cynical) developers uncritically lapped it up, even though it was clearly just marketing pablum. A moment of thought should've told them that Google was being buoyed up by being at the forefront of a technology trend and once they reached the limits of that and started having to, y'know, actually compete for business like every other big company does, they'd start acting like every other big company does but their fanboys kept denying it for years. Well, people can't say I didn't warn them.
