Aye, but there's the rub. Everyone is free to divest their retirement holdings from all companies that aren't B corps. But then you have to be willing to (maybe) accept sub inflation level returns. So do you want 8-10%+ returns in your retirement holdings? This is happening exactly because businesses are being run to generate economic returns to its owners. Obviously the super large shareholders make out even better but we come along on the ride for free.

The hedge funds and activist investors that drive them into this (super large investors) jump ship in advance, everyone who's not in the know is left to go down with it.
