Hold on, when did anyone introduce the idea that a company won't make a right decision ever? That's a pretty dramatic mischaracterization of my comment.
It's so easy to find something 'patently absurd' in a comment if you aren't bound by the actual content of the comment.
Maybe there was something confusing in my choice of words, given the downvotes.
I don't think HN is naive enough to think that large publicly traded companies genuinely make decisions based on moral concepts like right and wrong. If they do the right thing, they do it because they see an advantage in it. That's how they're designed to function.
