This assumes the disagreeing people are right. In reality people genuinely like different things.

If a disaffected minority tries to change what a majority likes, I'd expect they'll just ruin things for everybody.

Finding (or founding) a company that acts according to your ideals to work for, while letting Googlers work they way they like, is the obvious solution to me.
