Here's a third possibility: They expect to stay around many years but quickly replace people with robots. (Further automation, ideally introduced in a gradual way avoiding layoffs, is inevitable.)
Yes of course.
Participating in an economy while preparing for a window of profitability that will not be continuous is "nefarious".

Math is racist, profit is sexist, evil economic analysis, Yada Yada yada.
