>Not matter how well intended those employees' motivations it likely cost their employer a substantial piece of this enormous profit pie.

Who makes everything for Google? Who makes everything for the shareholders?

The workers, the employees. If they don't want to work on something that is against their morals and ethics as a whole, they get to decide that.

Do you work at Google or is that an assumption?

It's true in any circumstance. If you get rid of the employees -- the workers -- who's left to make anything, clean anything, provide food, etc?

Capitalists somehow forget that the workers even exist and are a necessary part of businsses, and seemingly think that all work that gets done is by pure magic. It's an immoral and unethical to not care what the workers say in quest of your personal profit.
