I agree with the sentiment but as a publicly owned company it may be considered in breach of duty to stockholders to commit to such a thing. These companies are about only one thing: how much money can we get? If they make good stuff along the way, that's OK, but that is not their purpose. It's a reversal of proper means and ends. In our system, money is the end, creating things is the means. In a proper system, it's the reverse.
