Is Monsanto like Oscorp?

I never thought that Monsanto was evil because the depictions of them were cartoonish, conspiratorial, economically illiterate, and the people who believed such things were tended to be political zealots clearly too emotional to think carefully. But anyway, I found an interesting answer on Quora containing a pretty thorough rebuttal to many of the claims that Monsanto is basically a real life Oscorp. I haven't checked any of their sources yet.

A bit:

A lot of folks don't like that Monsanto patents seeds. That's just ignorance. All seed companies, including organic seed companies, patent seeds. A seed does not have to be GMO to be patented.[15] The first seed patents were issued in the 1800s, long before GMOs existed.[16]  

A lot of folks don't like that farmers aren't allowed to save seeds from GMO crops. Well, farmers also can't save seeds from patented organic or conventional crops either. Or from hybrid crops (seeds from hybrid crops don't tend to breed the desired traits reliably).[17][18] But I grew up in a farm town, and I've never met a farmer who wants to save seeds. It's bad for business. Seeds are one of the cheapest parts of running a farm.[19] Farmers who save seeds have to dry, process, and store them. Farmers who buy seeds get a guarantee that the seeds will grow; if they don't, the seed company will pay them.

If you're a Monsanto hater, you can tell yourself a just-so story about how the writer of the rebuttal is a Monsanto mole, and you don't have to deal with any of the reasons given.
