You’re conflating small business and large business. The moment you have investors return on investment becomes the sole motivating factor and whatever humanity the organization had will be slowly squeezed out from the top down. This isn’t ideological, it is a legal principle. A corporation taking actions that harm returns opens them up to lawsuits.

Edit: worker owned coops don’t have this issue because they are definitionally managed from the bottom up.

Additional edit: the “you” in my post is doing heavy lifting I mean both the post I replied to and the one directly above it.

GGP started with "There isn’t a single business in existence" though.

I think you misread. The GGP post did not differentiate by small or large, nor did GP

Investors want infinite growth which leads to enshitification.
