It’s not like corporations are some animal who can’t help but be who they are.

I think you need to read a little more about economics, because this is exactly what they are. In fact, they have a fiduciary duty to their shareholders to maximize profits.

That’s for publicly traded companies. Duolingo wasn’t public when OP contributed to it.
