If there's a company with an insanely high valuation, and two potential motives consistent with their actions, one altruistic and one greedy, I'm struggling to understand why the assumption would be altruism, rather than the overwhelmingly more common primary motivation of "we want to make a boatload of money" while finding it useful to pretend otherwise, especially when so many sizable investors have similar sizable expectations for their returns.
