Its a Private Company which is not focused to gain Profit because Investors push to.

MARS is also a private company and has a section for child and slave labor on the Wikipedia.

ZF is a private company and produces weapons.

As I already said, Valve has a history of unethical and predatory business tactics. Do you suppose they do these for fun? (and would this improve things in your opinion?)

Private companies are market participants and have to act in their interest, or go eventually down. Valve wants to make revenue with their investments. The Linux community is at best a vehicle, and at worst a target to them.
