But wouldn't all of that apply to Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, General Dynamics, General Motors, Colt, Browning, and countless more companies that don't just build software for the military but actual weaponry? Yet those companies don't receive even a fraction of the hate that Palantir does.

Many people (myself included) have a lot to say about those companies as well. But their existence doesn't excuse Palantir, the company at the focus of the article that we're discussing in this thread. We're on a tech-focused forum which is probably why you hear more about tech-first companies here like Palantir and Anduril than "legacy" weapons manufacturers.
