Two choices. Either the purpose is its product. Or the purpose is product. Which one? Both cannot exist. History is irrefutable. Companies driven for profits make crap products. Examples apply to almost every corporation - profit, non-profit, NGO, SOE, etc.

Denying that without even one reason is disingenuous. Your every denial is "What I was told is true. Therefore it must be true." No reason was provided to contradict a reality. Productive companies - those that advance mankind - worry about the product. Cited again and again are corrupt or unproductive operations that exist because profits - not the product - are important. They are not exceptions. Same examples exist almost everywhere.

Appreciate that what one is taught as a child is extremely difficult to unlearn. Is also why brainwashing works; is so effective. But reality is obvious. Either a company works to advance mankind; has better products; and therefore reaps profits. Or a company exists to enrich the Central Committee of the Communist party - top management. Exists only for profits. Then invents excuses when even profits dry up. You are hard pressed to list exceptions which explains no examples - only denials.
