> Their goal is to make as much money as possible

This isn't a nitpick. It's the point under contention. Companies setting core values like Hashicorp has are ostensibly saying "we're not just all about profit, we care about how we obtain that profit." Positioning companies as having a singular goal of "making as much money as possible" is not a universal absolute. It's a choice we make. Let's choose differently.

For example, I'm not in business just to make money but because I think that what my company does is important, valuable to our customers, and good for the world. I also want to get paid and feed my family, but I have options and will walk if I feel like leadership at my company no longer cares about the values they established. I stay because I trust my leadership.

Many companies start with something like "don't be evil", and it (almost always) ends predictably.

Money ruin everything, sooner or later.

Let's. Patiently waiting for it to happen somewhere.

> I stay because I trust my leadership.

You know what? You better don't listen to me. I'm too cynical for this.
