You are welcome to ascribe it to whatever you want.  I will note that
very few Non-profit organizations engage in such behavior. Very
few governments do so, either. In fact, absent a corporate profit
motive, this behavior seems very rare.

Given the level of customer service most governmental agencies and non-profits
provide, they¹ve got a lot of other usability holes to fill first before they
start worrying about their ³clients² going to the wrong website. Secondarily,
their clients going to the wrong location isn¹t going to put them out of
existence.  So on the level that profit=existence I¹d agree it¹s definitely
profit motivated. But greed is pejorative term.
