> businesses act unethically

Perhaps the more charitable reading of this is that some businesses act unethically, and they should be called out for doing so?

I think the meaning is not that some act unethically, but that they are incentivized to act unethically, e.g. by being allowed to externalize costs and then being by making their survival dependent on how well they did it.
