"In other words, these technological wunderkinds were supposed to be better than the robber barons of old - a new breed of entrepreneur... getting rich and making the world better while they're at it." Well I never bought into that narrative from the get go so I wasn't taken aback by something like this taking place. Science & technology are tools. Those wielding the tools still have the ultimate say in whether or not a company does good or evil. And as there were a hundred years (or more) ago, there will be folks that abuse this power and those who empower others with it.
