Allow me to speculate, off the record (observing through spouse), of a soon-to-be lawsuit which will be used to remove the most-dangerous company from an undisclosed industry (less than a few ten-thousand customers):

It's about money, corporate takeover, money, "efficiency," money, green, money, safety third, money, because fuck them that's why, money, $$$, money...

This is my uneducated third-party opinion — I have no personal stake in my above observations.
