Because values are useful for different things. I think casiotone is confusing lack of values with specific values. GitLab has values but they don’t include stopping specific companies or orgs from using their service, other than illegal stuff.

They even call out efficiency as a value. That’s not the same as “we want to make money.” An artist may value art more than relationships so they are a jerk to helpers.

This doesn’t mean the artist lacks values or that the artist wants to make money. It just shows specific values.
