1. Most of the top valued tech companies have some degree of unethical behavior, almost all of them are successful by leveraging market monopolies in industries that are too new to have faced regulation.
2. If you become large enough, you will end up doing some shady shit. The question then becomes, is most of the company shady? Is it the CEO who is shady and the culture permeates from that? And so on.
So its not surprising to have a neutral/negative attitude w.r.t to these companies.
None of this is hyperbole, btw. A lot has been uncovered about what actually happened within the companies v/s what they like to promote themselves as; mostly from lawsuits but also by some excellent, professional journalists examining these companies more closely than they would let on.
