You are using profit-seeking to convey the (immoral) idea of "favoring profits over ethics", while I am using the more (ammoral) neutral definition of "doing something for financial gains". Can we agree to that?
If so, you'd have to argue why you want to change a neutrally-charged concept into something that carries negative connotations.
Well the last time I checked I didn't turn a blind eye to my work helping to start a promote a genocide in Burma so I really don't see your point.
I don't think that profit-seeking ever results in behaviour that is ethical. If I make a decision based on my desire for more money then it is almost always going to be a choice not based on ethical or moral values.
The difference is the scale. If I cut a few corners as a independent contractor then at worst my client gets slightly less value from their money.
If I cut corners as the owner of a chain restaurant then my profit-seeking has an impact on the employees I have and my customers.
If I am a major corporation that has billions of users then my profit-seeking has incredible impact.
