Large corporations simply have the ability to shop around to figure out which tax/legal jurisdiction they want to incorporate under, and which instruments they choose to represent their incomes, expenses, and holdings. If things like tariffs are implemented, then the cost/benefit situation changes and shopping around resumes. A smaller company or individual often doesn't practically have that scale of flexibility & research to pull off the same changes, though technically they do.
But even in your personal purchasing, because you might shop around and even negotiate prices with sellers to get a good deal, does that make you an adversary of the economy? No, it makes you part of the economic structure, like the various corporate implements are part of various jurisdictions' tax structures, and the governments benefit from their presence in various ways, not just directly through taxes. That's what all the negotiations are based on.
Of course, I'm speaking of options that are legal, and it gets arguable (and sometimes flagrant) how some corporate actions get interpreted in that sense.
