Companies are not actually 100% soulless profit-making machines and are very capable of choosing other priorities over making what seems to be free money.

Sometimes these other priorities are "being racist" or "letting John Lasseter harass all the women at Pixar". But it's obvious just because of how many companies stay in their industry. GameStop still tries to sell you games even if that's not so profitable anymore. They don't just switch to selling heroin.
