The sad thing is that this happens because someone forces them to comply and not out of principle.
Why would they though and out of which which principle? Microsoft's principle is "generate as much profit as possible without antagonizing customers to much". Microsoft is, at its core, a profit driven business and not a business driven by ethics.
So... It's a business
Err basically yes. In my head there's a difference between "business driven by profit" and "business driven by ethics", but maybe that's because English is not my first language.
