It's interesting to me that api's vague attack on the leadership of certain companies is pushing your buttons - going so far as to call his comment 'drastic' and 'absurd'.

The key point here, I think, is to be very careful to distinguish between a failure to build sustainability, and willful maneuvering for maximum personal gain at the expense of sustainability. The former is a noble failure, the later is deeply unethical (if not illegal) and ne'er the twain shall meet!
