You are implying that running a for-profit company is immoral. Of course you can run a for-profit company in moral and ethical way!

Then it's a for-profit-and-some-other-things. And when there is more than one owner those other things better be defined in a legally binding way or else.

Make it economically bad times, and the customer a shady actor. Will the company deliberately close and stop offering its services, despite needing to put food on the table? Or will the company just go along and do the coding for shady customer?
Now, put a lot of air in that thought-baloon and you will see how basically every for-profit will end up doing immoral things.

You are wrong! Not every for-profit will end up doing immoral things in this case! Some will move on to do other stuff...
