Monsanto, has done everything for profit. That is what a company is supposed to do is it not. Specific to the cases of seed saving, they seem to also have mostly done it legally.
In the US it has been legal. In many countries, that's not so clear.

Game industry against Right to Repair bills
This reminds me a lot of the case with Monsanto, where they have a patient on a seed variety, and sue farmers who try to keep seeds for planting later from the crops they grew.
At least they face a crimes against humanity court for that.
No. Monsanto legally applied for and was granted a patent for the seed.
Monsanto sold the seed only to people that signed a contract that stated keeping seed is not allowed.
Monsanto has done zero wrong and the farmer is in breech of contract.
This is no different than Jim's case with the Chamber of Commerce. The chamber, as far as we are aware, was in breech of contract.
Now, if you want to argue if Monsanto should have been allowed to get the patent in the first place, or if their contract should be legal, or anything else, you are free to.
But, that statement of yours is pure shit.
The trouble is seed from a season of planting is different than the seed they bought. As you get cross pollination and a different seed as the end result.

If Monsanto had that genome of seed to patent. If not, just because something is cross bred doesn't mean that a patent extends to it.
The terms of the contract say they won't keep seed, which is fine. That's enforceable in a court.

Nope, not a Ford fan, but I have to admit they do build a decent truck.
EDIT: ...that is, with the exception of the bright idea of using aluminum bodies.
