My point was that this kind of conspiracy theory has been around for a long time without much substantiation. Curb the technology? I guess they could do that internally, but they can't keep information contained in patents, for example, away others who want to develop the technology.
As far as caring about profits more than people, I'll leave that generalization for others to make, but a big company that doesn't care about profits will end up putting a lot of employees out of work.
