So is allowing corporations in the first place, that is also not a result of some innate sense of perfect knowledge of everything surrounding the issue.

Too many companies, too many people in them want the cake and eat it, they want societies to uphold their responsibilities towards them, but not the other way around.

It seems like that reasoning would put everything into the bucket of "political issue". I feel like it is more intertwined with forcing people to change (gas cars to EV) OR removing a flow of money (oil industry).

That’s because everything is political—including choosing to be apolitical.
