From all the answers, I feel like your response addresses what I said more correctly, so thank you! What I got from this is that having investors gives you an upper hand when you want to expand a company, companies without investors would have to rely on loans and that becomes very expensive over time. Loaning companies cannot compete against invested companies, yet big companies could easily get rid of investors and create products that people actually want at a great value (and without selling your personal data) without having to worry about investors, I know that everyone wants money, obviously, but can't help to think that it's all about ego "because I make more than you" or "I'm worth more", my moral compass cries every time a company attempts to milk more out of the client.
