>Microsoft loves Linux because it makes them money. I'm not sure why anyone would expect differently.
It should really be "<X corporation> loves <Y> because it makes them money" because let's be honest, the only reason these companies make any decisions, moral or not, is to make money
They supported <any movement> and showcased these supports with events, banners, and advertisement only because that's what they _need_ to do to make _profit_.
They could easily discard all of these values the moment a government or a market said they can't do it.
Just look at all the companies bowing down to China.
