I conclude the opposite: Yes. I mean really very obviously yes. And Microsoft. And Google. I assume they're acting in my interests because they have clear incentives to increase their profits by giving me useful helpful products that I'll buy. That's the entire premise of competition and the free market. The invisible hand gives consumers what they want. If, as a company, you don't, then you go out of business. If this were a communist country where the Party performed validation checks? With no choice between products? Then no. But in a competitive free market? Absolutely. In fact I'm relying on their motive to increase profits in order to trust that they'll act responsibly. What can you trust more than someone else's self-interest, at the end of the day? |
