It's inevitable unless regulators and consumer activists maintain the upper hand (in which case businesses will complain about a business unfriendly environment). Badly behaved businesses reap concentrated benefit while imposing diffuse losses on others. It's kind of like how a factory worker in a declining city notices the harm of a layoff much more than the benefit of TVs costing 25% less.
