> maybe providing useful products turns a profit hmmm...
Only to a certain extent. There will inevitably be a point where it is unprofitable to improve a product any further.
i.e., if Apple's primary goal was to make useful products, it would make choices that result in a better product even if it was slightly more expensive. But their primary goal is profit, as it is for every corporation under capitalism. Making better stuff is unprofitable.
