The IRL answer here is that it doesn't matter if it actually makes money / creates value in the long run, it only matters if the investors think it will, or if the c-suite think the investors think it will, or if the current investors (looking to sell) think that future investors (looking to buy) think it will.

But our numbers show a strong correlation between profit and negative externalities, so as long as we're causing harm we should be making money. Maybe we should start focusing research on even more dangerous monsters.
