Following the above logic wouldn't Opera not fit the bill either, considering it serves only to make money for Opera?

If Opera was non-free or pushed Opera owned services, then I would agree. But they don't.

In fact, how does Opera generate income?

Google has bought placement on all non-MS major browsers and portals.
