So destroy the company, put at least 165k people out of a job as punishment? Can we sell off Airbus for their numerous bribery scandals?[1] Should we destroy Tesla because of their autopilot crashes, battery fires and other mishaps?

Yes. I see no issues here.

If you can't do what you set out to do without being grossly negligent, or resorting to bribery, then perhaps you shouldn't be doing what you are at all.

Businesses seem to have forgotten they are not money pumps first and foremost. They are there to do a job, and are currently failing epically at doing so in an ethical manner.

I'd put down a corporation like I'd put down a dog should it show a tendency for wanton destruction and bloodshed..

Airbus should absolutely be punished if found guilty for bribery. Same goes for Tesla, if found guilty of neglicence (including lying in their marketing literature).

The difference, however, is that you can hardly acuse them of mass murder for corporate greed and profit.

And that's exactly what Boeing management did after the Lion Air crash. They knew, or must have known, that they're selling a potential death trap and did exactly shit about it (except promising a fix, delivered eventually, which should compensate for "incompetent pilots").

Look up whataboutism. Because your argument is quite a perfect example.
