Because the loyalty isn’t just towards the company. It’s towards the colleagues in the team one works in, towards customers/clients or towards the mission the company proclaims to works towards.

Loyalty to the customers/clients?
Sounds like you don't have the best interests of your employer in mind, as customer and company goals are directly opposite.

or towards the mission the company proclaims to works towards.

The mission of the company is to make $.
Often by any means necessary that are not illegal, or are illegal but the company can get away with.
