I think it comes down to if you can afford basic necessities. If you have your basic needs met money doesn't buy happiness.
My point is that employment is needed to pay the bills. It is the same thing for a company plus some crazy. For large publicly companies they want the stock price to go up no matter what. Expecting Google to have any care about ethics doesn't work as there are shareholders to appease. It is the reason SUSE went private.
the world wasn't born with companies. Trying to argue their morals as the ultimate truth is toxic to our humanity.
if all a company cares about is shareholders, said company doesn't deserve to exist.
you argument is trying justify the status quo and arguing for a system that is innately oppressive and cruel. "That's how it is" We should make it not be like that just the same as we made it be.
