you used to believe companies were benevolent?
What's the "us" in the sentence?
Companies exist to make their owners money, by providing goods and services to customers.
Well, it used to be non-profit which should not have goal like that. And changing that was "selling us out".
You are correct that non-profits have different purposes.
Is "us" the 8 billion people on earth, I assume?
Anyone who would want to benefit from their work with reasonable cost and that their work would be for the best of public, not for the owners of the company.
The org has dif't purposes but the people staffing them often don't.
