That's true, but my stance frankly wouldn't change if they also thought Google and Apple needed to spend the rest of their existence as a charity case. My point is more that it's a silly measure of damages, since this behavior is table stakes in the FAANG echelons. It's like saying that we should reject Open Source contributions by Google and Amazon because they pay their engineers with money made off exploitative server deals. It's a reach.

Open Source contributions are there for three reasons. Either the license requires it (Google Fuchsia is a step into avoiding this), it is a public relations stunt or they want other software developers work for them for free (which is also dropping the wages for their developers).
Never ever mistake any company that has public stocks doing anything else but earning money for the stock owners. As they didnt buy the stocks to support charity but to earn money.
