If people were driven because they care about other/all people rather than about their own material benefit, we wouldn't have designed a system based on the profit motive in the first place. Because it wouldn't have motivated people.

Profits and caring about employees are not exclusive.

My point is that the entire reason why people say we need the profit motive to motivate people, is because caring for other people is not enough to motivate their behavior.
