That seems like a really bad excuse to void responsibility. Consider a cigarette maker:

1. We sell cigarettes to make money

2. The more people crave cigarettes, the more money we can make

3. Should we make cigarettes less appealing to children? Absolutely not, we would make less money. Parents should just stop their kids from buying cigarettes.

Also, people in there last few decades have been using “duty to shareholders” as a way to excuse bad behavior, as if it’s a moral imperative higher than all others. I don’t really see why it would.
