      At a guess, such cooperation would undermine Lenovo’s profit margin and would thus be a non-starter for them.

      Enter government regulation, to pinch corporations by the ear and drag them to doing what’s right for society.

        I HATE the idea if you can’t make money off it, even if would make the world 10x better for everyone, companies won’t do it. Shareholders gotta eat!!

            Hot take because Line Must Go Up is being blamed on "For the Shareholders!" lately, but:

            It’s not just publicly traded companies. Private companies have greedy C-suites too.
