Why shouldn't they write about big companies, and why can't they do both? Without taking sides, you can't place the blame squarely on anyone here. Lawmakers make mistakes and corporations choose to exploit those mistakes. Lawmakers obviously need to take corrective action when they identify problems, but these things take time.
There's a difference between what is legal and what is ethical. Surely if there were some loophole that allowed corporations to murder their competitors they wouldn't do so. Corporations, like people, choose ethical behavior over legal behavior all the time. Not only is it reasonable for editorialists to call out those companies who make decisions that could be considered unethical, it is exactly what the press is supposed to do.
