It is at least neutral in terms of not favouring one profit making entity instead of another.

Racism is at least neutral in terms of not favoring one white European instead of another.

Government should decree the need to justify any deviation from white and non-profit --- because they are clearly better in most cases.

It does not make for a good argument to draw a crude comparison to racism. It shows that you see no difference between race discrimination that destroys lives everyday and software selection processes that you deem unjustified. I do not discuss with someone who pulls "tricks" like that in a discussion. But I do leave such comparisons unaddressed.

There is no "trick" here. I simply applied your same logic pattern to a different situation in the hope that you will recognize the absurdity of it.

In effect, you expect government to mandate your viewpoint because it hasn't been successful on it's own merits. This is not "neutral" and "unbiased", it is precisely the opposite.

*"don't leave such comparisons unaddressed."

Sorry ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
