Democracy’s killer feature as a system of government is peaceful alteration of power. Counting heads to see who the likely winner of a civil war would be is much cheaper in terms of bloodshed and property damage than actually having a civil war. Corporations don’t have a monopoly on the use of violence like states do so this advantage is irrelevant. Democracy isn’t really that great as an organizing principle except insofar as it promotes stability and order. Fantastic in a state, pretty meh for a corporation which seeks to maximize profit.
