Team orders are to be expected. You can't expect a team to pour millions of dollars into competing, and then not to maximize their chance of winning both titles, the indivual and the constructor title.

It's similar to cycling, every cycling team in the tour the france has a captain, the role of every cyclist in the team is to ensure the captain wins the tour. If every cyclist starts to compete just for themselves, teams would have very little chance of winning the tour.
