Idk, plenty of companies that tick all three boxes and are not like this at all.
A single owner vs a company without a principal shareholder & how they threat humans is just a gamble.
Overall it does have to do with ownership & how the company culture was built tho - in Valve there are like 20 people running a billon monies company. They all have enough, and are happy.
Oh, and Valve it's def a "for profit" c company, being an actual non-profit is a completely different thing.
A for-profit company is a very specific thing. It means a company that's required, by law, to put profit above everything else. Valve may be a for-profit company but as far as I know it isn't.
