They are doing everything they think they can get away with. I agree that ethics and morale should factor into corporate decision making, but at this level I'd argue that corporate decision making is purely an optimization game between profits over various horizons.
If they think this maximizes their payoff, they'll do it. I'm 100% certain that they realize that this may/will invite further lawsuits and have factored this into their calculations.

Big corporations are giants with clay feet. From inside one can see the real humans behind the curtains. So, you could be right and its a long term strategy, but it's also possible that they are just thinking about their next bonus.
- short_sells_poo 5y agoThat's pretty much what I wrote. You are disagreeing with a strawman. > corporate decision making is purely an optimization game between profits over various horizons. If they think this maximizes their payoff, they'll do it. Keyword being "various horizons". Sometimes it's a long term strategy, often it will be just maximizing the next bonus..
