how did you get that interpretation from any of this?

regardless, a for-profit company should not use its runway on ideals as it won't last very long, it has to build and find ways to be known about beyond its small community. that's what this is about.

I disagree entirely. Ethics in business is the foundation of being civically responsible.

If the business suffers in the short term, so be it.

I do understand this is not a popular view in todays business world however, and it shows.

Its more than a view, its survivorship bias

That doesnt mean be unethical, it means dont try to move the overton window or “use your platform”, other organizations exist specifically to do this and they are not called for profits
