"Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely."
Companies with lots of power will tend to do the "wrong thing". That so many do it "makes the point", over and over.
Still, "wrong is wrong". The fact that "nearly everyone who can" does it, does not "make wrong into right".
Civilization might be more civilized if "we the people" held the powerful more accountable.
In the case of politics, we vote with our ballot -- for the success of the least offensive politician. In the case of free enterprise, we vote with our coin -- for the success of the least offensive company.
But without competitors, there is no choice for us to make -- and we are at the mercy of the "powerful".
AMD is the only viable competitor for two powerful companies, Intel and Nvidia.
