Corporations don't benefit much from services of the state.

They certainly benefit from investments in education, the road network, telecoms, etc.

Also courts and established legal systems.

It's amazing how little people value all that stuff until they actually need it.

I know, right? The only reason I realised that was because I am from a country that legally has all of that but none of it properly works. Large corporations don’t work very well in these countries (or they work really well, depending on how illegal they would like to be).

Companies pay if they want the services of the courts to resolve disputes. They don't get it for free
