Simply because you cannot understand the motivations of someone who has their basic needs covered but continues to build does not mean "they are fundamentally in a business of greed".

Just because something is "advertising" or "social" does not mean that it is "completely trivial and useless". Very few big problems are solved in one fell swoop. Most of them are overcome by thousands of people chipping away at various parts of them at the same time.

You're right, they totally left out invasive, obnoxious and manipulative.
