I'm pretty sure their argument is "this will be cheaper, and therefore more profitable."
- sneak 3y agoThere is another argument: this will be cheaper to produce, and therefore cheaper at retail for the same margins, and therefore will sell many more instances, and therefore will save many more lives. It's possible that the richest person on Earth is more concerned with doing good slash achieving his goals vs obtaining more currency/profit, which it would seem would have little to no marginal utility to him.
