I always here this with regard to profit:
"Profit shouldn't be #1"
"This industry shouldn't be in it for profit"
"These people are only after profits"
Okay, and your point is? Your job is not to decide what other people value. If they value profit, then they value profit.
THE ONLY thing to worry about is whether or not they harm others or fraud others in going after their profit. Otherwise, leave them alone, it's not your job to tell others how to live their lives or what to seek in life.

It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest.
