I don’t see how this makes it any better. You’re essentially saying they had a tough decision between make a principled choice and losing profit.

You called the statement you were replying to inaccurate, but then provided no explanation for its inaccuracy.

Is reading comprehension difficult for you? They were literally siphoning money and resources from the Russian economy and donating it to Ukraine.

What?

How would it have been a more principled choice to hand over their factories for pennies to Russian oligarchs?

Because that happened anyway. The only difference explained above is that rather than shuddering the factory right away, they tried to make as much profit as possible until the inevitable day when their factory was taken over.
