because that's what they think is best. what point are you trying to make? that countries don't pursue 'profit' at the expense of all other concerns?

I think that that "best" is not always measured in money. And it should not be. Countries are made of people, and people wellbeing should be the main priority of country. And when stepping a bit back, all countries are made of people, so why differentiate? Ideally make life good for all people.
