To play devil's advocate, Facebook's initial goal probably wasn't to change the world and influence our future either.

To play devil's advocate, Facebook's initial goal probably wasn't to change the world and influence our future either. It was just another social site with a nicer UI. Yet it took off and two years ago played a large role in deciding the world's current political situation. So as a service's sphere of influence grows, so must their company vision, in order to ultimately maximize growth and profit for their stakeholders. I'm sure Dropbox started as a solution to an annoying problem. But today its userbase is massive, so their business strategy must adapt to that as well.
