To be sure, I believe there is a global business coup against the people going on these days, and they have enjoyed much success.
A bunch of different parties failed at a really hard thing, lots of times over many years
There's a concept in US law called the "attractive nuisance," and the fact that data leaks have happened "lots of times over many years" raises that charge to negligence if not recklessness.

Suit yourself. The only thing scarier than believing it's all a big conspiracy, is admitting that no one anywhere is in control.
"A loose affiliation of millionaires, billionaires, and baby..."
A bunch of different parties failed at a really hard thing, lots of times over many years, and some laws that are tough to write well haven't gotten written yet. Collusion most foul.
We need better laws with stricter fines, and the pressure has to come from the voters and from the subject-matter-experts, because you're absolutely right that it won't come from the corporations anytime soon.
