Allow me to rain on both of your parades. Xiaomi is limiting short turn profits to starve out competition and grab as many customers into its app/cloud eco system which it sees as the real money maker (this comes directly from a Xiaomi press release). All the big companies that form the oligarchs have to resort to unethical business practices e.g. treat their employees inhumanely, destroy the environment by cheaply sourcing materials and manufacturing obsolescence, bribing politicians for favorable laws and kickback investments, resort to false marketing, to survive in our late stage capitalist world that is run entirely by the stock markets.
