What does "should" mean, in this context?
Are you describing what it would be like in your personal utopia?
No, I am referring to common concepts of decency and fairness. Most monopolistic practices, like selling a unique nonstandard gizmo for your car and you can only buy it at one place, are generally considered bad not only for buyers but also the market in general as people hear of such events and avoid that market. Why get ripped off?
And if the manufacturers use the alw to enforce an artificial monopoly, as a huge number of people can reverse engineer diagnostic tools, then the state is being exploited for monopolistic purposes and is an abuse of corporate influence.
The only reason that you cant go and buy a third party software package to fix these John Deere software problems is because the gooberment is sticking its nose in yet again to **** over the little guy.
Companies don't usually do what they "should", they do what makes them the most money. There's no room for morality in a corporation.
That is a bullshit lie. Corporations should be held to higher standards of market morality because they are so powerful and able to subvert good government.
