Ultimately, that's the horrible thing about capitalism.  Things only
exist for monetary reasons, they don't really exist to do what the
product is for.

And you can say it about anything.  e.g. The commercial phone companies
don't exist for people to be able to communicate (what their customers
consider their primary purpose to be).  They're there to make money and
it really doesn't care how well the communications aspect of it works.
