Which Big Corp though? The provider or the consumer? The dilemma is, this all feels like a bit of a Boy's Club where they all agree to just help each other and ignore the little people. Not always formally, it's just how things work out. They have an interest in maintaining the status quo and ignoring upstart-startups.
Of course, eventually yes it's impossible to ignore the value gap. But I've seen companies threaten to leave but keep paying the bills for many years because in a big company, it's not really anyone's problem in particular and it's easier to just keep going along to get along. One example we had was B2C email communications, there are so many cheaper more capable players out there but they just got us to do it because we did other stuff for them.

They often try to sue each other out of business, get the government to declare competition illegal, "cut off their air supply", "knife their baby", etc. > because we did other stuff for them There you go. Not because of the goodness of their hearts.
