They're businesses. But in their case I don't think they're as heavily incentivized to be the bad guys. They just want to nickel and dime you for bullshit, they don't actually get anything out of tracking your shit because they don't have the power to sell your data or target ads at you due to the utility nature of their business.
Even when it comes to punishing you for downloading protected IPs, it's just because they're liable for it. They don't actually gain anything, they're just protecting themselves.
