Yeah, there's definitely quite a bit of evidence. But also, they're better - not perfect. The issue you pointed to is real and does happen. But it's not as ubiquitous as "investor funding companies putting aside all other concerns in pursuit of profit" and the harms that stem from it tend to be more contained.

Even in software, once you're big enough to have a real user base you need infrastructure, servers, people to keep those servers alive, and on and on and it dilutes the mission because even while there's no scumbag investors, factions within the company will want more for less and vote that way internally.
