Didn't see any insulting part of either of your messages, so... All good I guess?

Anyway, that saying doesn't mean where things are should remain acceptable. You're right that corporations (being made up of supposed humans) don't like to improve or change once they're making profit, we'll collectively need to keep pushing for better. But that's a given, and based on history, has always been the case.

Still, I agree that pushing binary around beats physical media in theory. I don't like the lack of control once you've got it, but as with all things, a company builds a taller wall, someone builds a taller ladder for lulz.
