I see where you are coming from but there's a scale-aspect to this. These entities aren't traditional companies, like your local newsagent or plumber or whatever. They've reached a level that they can influence governments and can control entire populations (to a degree). They have immense power and can effectively wield it as they please to further their own ends. They are related to small local companies only as they have to file a tax return... that's about it!
