I don't think it's seeking profit that makes these companies bad, it's seeking profit via government protection and government promotion. All companies seek profit, even good ones and even small ones. But when corporations try to use the government to gain marketshare or subsidies or to fine their competitors or even to force the public to buy what they're selling, they're no longer 'profit seeking,' they're 'rent seeking.'
