How often do you purposefully buy a more expensive product solely because it's better for the people making it?

That's not a fair question. A fair question is "how often do you purposefully buy a more expensive product when the marginal expense product exceeds the marginal benefit you derive?".

Nothing exists in a vacuum.

That's not correct, because the person I'm replying to is saying that Samsung is greedy for not taking a hit in order to benefit other people.
