"I wonder why companies are getting carried away with this kind of profit destroying greed again and again. They are killing their own golden goose. "

Could simply be that they dont know what the world will look like in 5 years so they might as well cash out while they can. No use playing the long game when the next big game changer could be around the corner?

I think is more due to the fact that they see themselves as 'too Big', with lots of leverage.

Anyhow, they have so much money that even when regulation comes, their business will still be secured.

Could be, but I very much doubt they see it that way.

Maybe not Google. But I would be a little shocked to find that Apple at least doesnt think that way to a degree. I mean... Look what the Ipod did. The Ipod was a game changer.
