Why are people willing to sell their kids to defend the above companies?

I don't really see this happening.

As for why I recommend some things, it's usually because my recommendation is better than the alternative.

Perfection is hard to find, but in the meantime I'll recommend something good over something bad.

Same here. I only support those companies because they're the best options for what they offer, and I'm not gonna let perfection get in the way of progress. Even though Mozilla is making some business choices I don't agree with, I'm gonna keep recommending Firefox until some other non-Chromium browser comes along (which unfortunately isn't gonna happen for a long time).

Same with AMD- they are so much more friendly to the open-source community than Nvidia or Intel, so I will recommend them to everyone, until the moment they start being worse. At that point, I'll start recommending whoever seems best at that point in time.
