The very existence of corporations is owed to government intervention. Speaking of corporations within a "free market" is incoherent at that point.

Not true, wealth accumulation is sure to happen in a free market due to random circumstances and just even minimal imperfections in knowledge. Government is not required.

And a wealthy player would be a fool to not try to skew the rules in their favour.

Nobody has proven yet that it is possible to prevent this problem even in a really long term.
