I wouldn’t say evil, just another capitalist company. It’s the norm unfortunately.

another capitalist company

that's a lot of words to say evil

Amoral for sure, but evil is relative I guess. A company can be both amoral and good when it is convenient to be.

Basically corporations are never your friend, but they can be less terrible if there is financial incentive. If this hurts their bottom line, they'll backtrack.

...but that assumes capitalism would provide the financial incentive to be less terrible in the first place.

Just because everyone is doing it doesn't make it not evil.
