I admit I wasn't thinking about products like software. Still, in your previous statement you were talking about maximizing profits where in the last examples you're talking about benevolent accessibility programs (in MS's case anyway) - quite a different thing. They weren't selling $1 licenses to developing nations for profit maximization (global domination, sure... but that's different).
Anyway, thanks for helping satisfy my curiousity.
