To be fair, late stage corporations almost all look alike: unwieldiness, complexity, inflexibility, bureaucracy, sluggish inertia, inefficiencies, and disconnection from users. Add incentives for short-term gains, and gamification will ensue that doesn't necessarily promote long-term, enduring dominance and may well permit foot machine-guns. Despite a large market share, often with similar orgs, these attributes make them easy prey for startups without these dysfunctions. One holistic solution is to do as Sir Richard Branson: continually striving to have it both ways: operate with the nimbleness of a startup while seeking economies of scale and automation of a megacorp. Largely, the cultural attitude is the source problem and the source of solution.
