The socioeconomic system that selects for such companies is actually the enemy. We accept and even encourage and glorify lying and cheating, as long as it's made for monetary gain.

Yes, but also consider what you are saying, this “companies” are really just a group of people, many of those people who engage in or support these types of rather pernicious and arguably evil patterns of behavior are here and all around us, and they likely all rationalize their involvement with some kind of “I just implement what I’m told” or “I’m under pressure to increase revenue” or “if I don’t do it someone else will”.

Companies are just people, a collection of people selected often to engage in rather evil, sneaky, and hateful behaviors in many cases, including the gaslighting about “hate” that many engage in as a means for manipulating an increase revenues … “we are about love … so you will give us more of your money.”
