You're phrasing it in a way that makes this scale seem like a good thing. Is it?
I'm not convinced that the scale of supranational grow-at-all-costs uncontrollable corporations is good

So of course people will defend that. In my opinion, what they fail to understand is that this power doesn't have any significant impact on their personal lives. It favours only those who are already in power.
