Would it benefit the business community at large for the vendor of their primary infrastructure components to not make money, not have resources?

We agree that all businesses are in business to make money, right? But in the case where a bunch of other people's livelihoods are based on other businesses within the ecosystem, of course you want the entire ecosystem to be making money.

This is just like not liking 'top 40' bands because they are popular. You can't have blind spots where capitalism doesn't apply, or gets overruled by personal bias.
