Here is the opinion of someone who makes a strong normative claim, that not lacking merit, is typical of one who has had more time to think. The naive idealism of motivating us" computer science" people to solve non-trivial problems is in stark contrast to an industry that that is lucrative to the extent that it satisfies the facile needs of millions of relatively unintelligent, complacent users.

As long as there is a market demand for these little apps, enterprise consumers and shitty little ventures millions wills be invested here and greedy companies and stackeholders will profit. Fuck the poor and ambitious ideas. There is money to be made!
