The people making decisions in an "industry in flux" can make fair, logical decisions, showing consideration and respect for the people the decisions effect, or they can make ruthless, greedy, self-serving decisions.
I think her point is to communicate that she feels like the latter is happening, and I see a valid approach to associating the former with 'good' and the latter with 'evil.' It's a writer's job to evoke those broader emotional associations, isn't it?

As for it being subjective. I dunno, I think most people won't confuse which she thinks is which.
