I imagine that is largely because the corporations here bring to mind faang and their ilk who use software to ensnare their users to whatever purposes they need.
But what if the corporations were of wider spectrum, more Fortune 500 and less silicon valley, whose goal is to create a good computing environment for their companies to flourish in. Then I think the scenario should seem much less dystopian.
