There is a problem with rich people consuming things that drive poor people into unacceptable employment to provide raw materials for those things.
Materials like gold, or minerals for tech, are often mined in ways that most people would find appalling.
People have a perception of "fairness" and a big tech company making millions, billions of dollars of profit while people are mining minerals in dangerous conditions for very little money is seen as unjust.
For someone getting $2 a small amount of money, just 50c, is a huge raise, and it would have little impact on the end price of the goods.
Quite small amounts of carefully targeted money could make a big difference to developing nations - better schools, clean water, better medicine, etc.
It would be really nice to see tech companies devoting a bit of time and smarts (and maybe even a bit of cash) to tackling those problems.
