I agree, these aren't anything special and we should treat them like other big companies. The challenge is that the product can be a bit novel, and when the laws try to catch up to that novelty, it's perceived as being "against" tech. When in actuality it's just trying to adapt the rules we have to a changing world.

(I'd disagree that companies should maximize profit, but that's just a bit of an unrelated ideological difference.)
