I think that there will always be some supicious minds looking at a
big company working with the community about whether the goals can be
the same, or whether there are hidden agendas to exploit the community
etc.

So instead of trying to justify this I would make a forward attack and
state that a big company profits from supporting community goals
for the sake of the community itself. And the community profits from
being exploited that way. Isn't this what Open Source is about?
