> sell us out

What's the "us" in the sentence?

Companies exist to make their owners money, by providing goods and services to customers.

[paulddraper]

You are correct that non-profits have different purposes.

Anyone who would want to benefit from their work with reasonable cost and that their work would be for the best of public, not for the owners of the company.
