Bingo. If you actually like CS, instead of just seeing programming as a way to get a fat paycheck like so many seem to, why would you not want to be part of FAANG or some other company building cutting-edge products and work on building some of the most advanced systems in the world?

Some people may not enjoy the "making the world an objectively worse place" part. Not everyone is moved only by a fat paycheck and working on interesting problems. Otherwise we might as well assume it is perfectly fine to work on a poison gas that only works on ethnicity X -- after all the pay might be pretty good, and it's a cutting-edge, advanced biochemical problem.

Obviously not saying FAANGs are quite that bad, but still, this is a pretty shallow reason to work somewhere.
