You fail to understand what “companies” are under capitalism - they exist for profit, only.

For .. fun? That’s not gonna make shareholders happy.
They did it for profit.
engineering decisions in corporations are driven by profit.
Not to be pedantic. But, in my opinion, it’s important to *not humanize corporations* because they are not humans.
- xwdv 4y agoOn the contrary, corporations are nothing but humans. Thousands of humans working together to achieve human goals. And if what humans mostly want is profit, then corporations will want profit, but occasionally they want other things too. Power, revenge, prestige.
- flandish 4y agoYou’re applying human emotion to the actions of humans within a corporation and sure, that tracks. From a purely mathematical shareholder ROI standpoint, a “continuous expansion” facet of capitalism, and the purchase of labor from humans who do not themselves own or control the corporate decisions - there is only ever ROI that is considered.
