You're assuming the Friedman doctrine[0] is universally accepted as "that's just how companies work". That view is not universal, even if it's the norm in the US and plenty of large companies see it that way internationally.
You might want to look up "social market economy"[1] and what social democracies in Europe think about the social responsibilities of companies (i.e. that they have those in the first place). I know these are foreign concepts in the US but it's what powers the famous German Mittelstand and our economic stability (though at the cost of missing out on some of the rapid growth possible in the US).
