Is it really that unreasonable to believe that an author:

a) is fine, and maybe even motivated by, the fact that a fellow human will read or watch their work to learn, improve their craft, grow as a person, etc.

b) is offended by the fact that a faceless multi-billion company will appropriate their work to create a for-profit product that will make their shareholders a little bit richer?

It is entirely conceivable that an author would have those views, I don't see why you should expect it to be the default view of an author.
