Its pretty easy to understand once you shake yourself of the idea that "money" and "direct ratings" are the only thing companies care about.
You don't even need to get into ESG and "Da Joos Humiliation Ritual of Our Culture" when things like optics and deceiving board members can carry "bad" decisions long beyond reasonability.
At least when I betray humanity for our future machine overlords, I'm securing my place in their human zoo. These guys are literally burning their company and assets to the ground for hollow platitudes.
Wealth brings a divorce from reality. The same way any lack of consequence does, though this is the greatest degree it can reach.
They truly believe they are above real consequences and that lesser humans simply exist in a 1:1 exchange rate they can exploit without further thought.
While you can call that retardation, its a pretty common human instinct you can find even in the middle or lower class in varying levels. If we don't keep aware of it, we can even fall victim to it ourselves.
