I agree with everything you say except for this one:

because we live in a capitalist society. We are victims of capitalism

I think its the lack of governance in free markets that allows corruption to take place. The active main role of government is to prevent monopolies, prevent fraud and to ensure that business doesn't harm the environment etc.

The examples you gave are more about companies lying than it is about the idea of having free markets (what capitalism is all about)

Ah, I enjoy your perspective on that. I didn't really think of it that way.

Wait but just to be clear..my example is not really about companies lying..I think.
I tried to stay vague to avoid controversy, but I was more thinking of companies not keeping developers at the forefront, and focusing more on the monetary value.

But I think your comment on free markets still applies here! You're right.
