So that seems cynical, but in some cases it's true. Exxon and Apple have more power than Tuvalu. People get upset because of the nature of democracy, civility, Exxon/Apple are private companies etc. etc. Apple doesn't have a seat at the UN but they employ zillions of people and sell a lot of gear, which has 'consequence'. It's just the way it is.
