I'd say this is true for all for-profit companies, by definition.

Perhaps there is extra cost that makes it not worth it - laws, contract rules, etc. All the more reason to have that in place.

How is it different for non-profits? What do you think happens when funding/donations dry up?

Note that I didn't claim that non-profit companies prioritize employees. I said that when a for-profit company prioritizes something else than profits then it's not acting as a for-profit company.

I'd say it's more likely for any company relying on venture capital or other external investment or shareholders.

If the company is not privately owned without investors, it doesn't really have control over the actions.
