Survivorship bias.

Right wing tech folks abuse their workers and customers, which brings in money to grow the company. Which makes their companies enormous.

If you treat customers and workers fairly, you'll earn much less money, slowing down the growth of your company. Which ends up eliminating you via competition.

Companies can only be ethical if governments force them to be so. Otherwise their future is doomed.
