Did I say ANYTHING contradicting your statements? Or do yours contradict mine?
However, you rightly wrote "generally"... That's exactly the problem: it SEEMS like he doesn't harm anyone.
But in practice, he does:
- He is often needlessly discourteous - not to say rude - with people,
- His laziness impacts his business and consequently his employees, who would probably want better salaries or working conditions or more colleagues,
- He scams people,
- After extorting an artifact, he destroys a family legacy out of pure selfishness - like "I need space on my iPhone, I'll erase the last photos of your grandmother before her death that you had never seen without sending them to you first."
Rich, yes, even too much - he throws money out the window foolishly.
Handsome, yes.
Capable of sustaining himself? Not really. He invents things only for HIS comfort, and thanks to his family and close relatives who sell these inventions for him, he's rich. But that's not "himself", he's more like a disabled dude who think that he's "independent and strong" while closing his eyes to all the support he gets on a daily basis.
Like a guy in a wheelchair who prides himself on having gone to the 20th floor of a building for a meeting "all by himself, without anyone's help, I'm the boss," without wanting to acknowledge the elevator, the access ramp, the adapted public transport, or even... the wheelchair he can't build himself.
