I think this attitude sucks

I would instead argue that the primary duty of any commercial enterprise is to make a profit. Otherwise it will go out of business and there is no point to the enterprise. But as long as it makes a profit, then it can do whatever it wants to do.
Here's an example. We spend about $12,000 a month to pay 100% health and dental insurance for our 16 employees *and* their families. We don't have to do this. We could instead give this money to the company owners.
But in my opinion (as one of the owners), that would suck. YMMV.
