So the way companies were 600 years ago and the way they act today should be the same?
I could have made the same movie, but used the Catholic Church instead. I could have raped and murdered the people as I drove to there resources, and then said "this is how it would be done, because this is how the Catholic Church did it in the 1200's."
The world has changed. While it's true that Apple could probably make more money if the US invaded a 3rd world country and enslaved it's people so they can mine minerals and make Mac Book Pro's, I don't think that's a business decision that Steve Jobs, or the shareholders are looking into.
The world has become educated, and in doing so, it has made ever educated human on earth more sympathetic to those who are not like them, unless your a corporate executive. This is the message of Hollywood at the moment.
I just watched District 9, and it's another example of this.

World's changed and we're more educated, eh?

(here is a hint: it wasn't 600 years ago)
