Johnson and Johnson is very explicit NOT amoral. They have guiding principles that basically put the needs of their customers first, then employees, communities, and finally shareholders. [1]
These old companies were founded in a society that had clear values, and many of those companies reflect those values. Even modern companies frequently have moral values, for instance, Zappos. As a society, though, we have jettisoned those old, constraining Christian/Protestant values, and the prevailing value, to the extent I can identify it, is a Marxist, everything is just the use power to oppress. If we take that as our value system, then that is what we'll become. So if you don't like companies living out that value, then it behooves you to promote the kind of values that benefit society and bring people together.
