As much as we the consumers might wish otherwise, the only reason that most commercial ventures are in business is TO MAKE MONEY. They don't really care about anything else. The only reason that most businessmen treat their customers well is to keep them happy enough to make good recommendations to other prospective customers and, perhaps to not make too many complaints. This is what is known as "Commercial Acceptability". The major concept of Commercial Acceptability is to make a product that is just good enough,( in it's price and feature range), to sell to a projected market without excessive customer complaints,( warranty claims ).

The days of a major stock owned company having any concern for it's blue collar workers is long gone. Most of our major business schools teach strongly against it. Their attitude about their customers is the same. They just don't care about them as long as the money keeps coming in. How else to keep the stockholders happy? The only reason that most CEO's keep their jobs and astronomic salaries,( with multi faceted and expensive perquisits ), is by showing a LARGE, BLACK bottom line on the annual financial statement. To do this they have to take the money away from the workers by outsourcing the jobs to nations where the workers are employed at horribly substandard wages and, with zero fringe benefits. This keeps the overhead down and jacks the profits up.
