There seems to be a belief that if you make unimaginable sums of money selling software, that software must be a net good for society, and–therefore–your ideas about what the world needs must be right. When that becomes the norm, the people inside your company stop bothering to tell you when they think you’re wrong, or that you might be about to ship something problematic.
