Look it's amazing the company last this long. Just stop buying it and got to your local gelato place after checking Facebook to make sure you're not supporting a neo Nazi.

Thinking it would go any other way is extreme naïveté. They're not. They might have 'wanted' to have their ice cream and eat it too, but they wanted the money more. 🤷♂️
I don't remember which company it is, but a CEO with socially progressive views was appointed by shareholders. He believes that you can be ethical and still run a multibillion company. After a year, he was replaced. It wasn't explicitly mentioned but we know why he was replaced.
Unless you own the company yourself, I think you could be ethical. But more cut throat rivals would undermine you, leaving you with no choice but to either let your company be bought because you simply cannot compete, or you could keep up with the Joneses and follow along with cut throat tactics to remain competitive.
The third option though is if you are comfortable enough with what you are earning that you don't feel the need to compete and expand. This is what many family-owned Japanese businesses do. Those businesses have been passed down from generation to generation stretching back hundreds of years. A lot of said businesses explain they do not want to expand because it is risky and are happy enough with their enterprise.
Unilever plans to spin off Ben & Jerry's, Breyers, Magnum and other ice cream brands later this year.
What's even the point of getting rid of their CEO then?
Sometimes pettiness is all they need. When THQ went bankrupt, Ubisoft bought their studio that hired Patrice Désilets (creator of assassin's Creed) just so they could shut down his new project and fire him again.
SR3 still has the best overall combination of character customization, stat advancement and urban open world. Its not even close to the best at any single one of them but its still the only game that actually pulls off all 3 well. What happened to that series post bankruptcy is a tragedy.
Why these companies keep selling themselves to giant corporate overlords I'll never understand.
$$$$$$$
Because somebody on the top found an opportunity to make money on it. That's how the corpo world works
