Most companies exist for motive X, which they do by providing value Y, then monetizing it via method Z. X is almost always "profit" and Z is something boring like selling physical items, subscriptions, ads, etc, so the mission statement is about Y.
The following statements are true but not very interesting:
Microsoft was never about computers on every desk and in every home, it was really about selling software licenses to make money!
The Super Bowl was never about football, it was really about selling ads to makes money!
Wal-Mart was never about saving people money so they could live better, it was really about selling physical items at retail to make money!
Facebook was never about connecting people, it was really about selling ads to make money!
Is the Facebook one any more insightful because the monetization strategy is advertising?
