That would be providing a product that people are freely willing to pay for.

Heroin?
Well, unless 'you' are one of the very few (statistically speaking) benefiting.
It's neither impossible nor unreasonable to constrain organizational behavior to incorporate collective goals.
It's just politically toxic in an America where self interest has been cultivated to be the ultimate moral litmus test.
That economic theories predicated on the aggregated consequence of self interest providing for collective benefit have been utterly disproven has not affected the received ideology.
Who would want to question the belief that acting in their own benefit is not morally unimpeachable?
QED the lionized cowboy culture at Über, to name an egregious example among a bottomless pool of them.
