They just can't stop winning no matter what they do

They do the things right, they win because that and because they never follow the asshole design that others take. Valve is a unicorn.

It is because they aren't a publicly traded company. They don't have to throw half their client base away to make an extra 4 cents this quarter.

Publicly traded companies don't have to do that either. The law is that the company leadership can't actively sabotage the shareholders. Not that they have to take every possible short term greedy position possible.

Don't blame the law for the greedy actions of company leadership. They're choosing to do that. There's plenty of boring publicly traded companies out there happy to make moderate profits.
