Also, and I know I will regret typing this, but folks working for (say) Facebook don't exactly have a leg to stand on when it comes making an (ethical) point about other companies' business models.
A false dichotomy. (a) Logically, it's fine for them to believe that FB is fine, but Nature is not; and (b) even if they personally have qualms about Facebook, that doesn't mean they should give up acting correctly in respect to other companies. Very poor argument on your part.

Yes, of course, that's why I worried about bringing it up. But since ethics is implicit in so much of this debate, I feel editors' integrity is routinely questioned and conflated with the economics of publishing. Indeed it is best to keep them separate.
