It's interesting how none of the top comments mentions capitalism as the reason for companies losing their original mission. It's the same force that causes enshittification: the (unachieavable) infinite pursuit of profit. Sooner or later all companies will fall into the "financial gravity". The ones the author mentioned just haven't gotten there yet.

I know this is a common belief, yet the data doesn't really support it. There are truly exceptions. If you study how they became exceptional, you'll find that they defy so many of the so-called best practices we teach today about how companies should be built, structured, and governed. I don't think this is a coincidence.
