Their purpose is to make money. Therefore, entities that make it harder to make money (eg an oppressive government) will be seen as threats. Therefore, they take actions like convincing the entire internet to use https.
It's not as simple as "invade privacy" = "profit!". They sell advertising, that's their actual business model.
