I think you could make an argument that any hyperscaler that has used it's economy of scale superpower to obliterate as much competition as the giants have (thinking Google, Meta, et al) and have gone to such lengths to become the center-point of their given markets have at least a vague notion of an ethical obligation to like... not be monsters. Which is of course antithetical to the "eat the world" ethos: one would observe that few things once eaten are better for the experience.
Like, maybe it's just me, but if you as a corporate entity are going to subsume all your competition under the weight of your size and ability to lose money on tons of things so you can make even more on the other, I think it's a pretty fair ask in turn for them to not... I dunno, arbitrarily delete a shit ton of useful data for no reason?
