Public companies are psychopathic profit maximizing automatons (and so blaming them is like blaming gravity for a tree falling on you). There should be healthy tension between companies pushing boundaries and regulations keeping them aligned with society's values. That strengthens regulation and oversight against bad actors and lets companies be innovative. But legislators and regulators are lazy, corrupt, or absent, and people are dumb enough to blame companies for anything that happens, so the tension doesn't exist and they run amok. Blame government for letting companies do it's job for it (and by extension the voters that don't care).
