Why does there have to be a "good guy"? Can't there just be a bunch of different bad guys?

If Microsoft is supposed to be exceptionally evil then surely we can see other actors in similar position who aren't as bad.

Narrative tropes demand that there be a protagonist, so one of the bad guys must be cast as an anti-hero, at the very least.

Huh. I just realized that to many of his supporters, Trump is an anti-hero. No wonder pointing out his flaws doesn't work.
