If I'm a company whose value is hypothetically tied to the number of people I kill. No hard feelings, companies are amoral. If I kill you, that's just business.

That sounds extreme, but many businesses weigh profits vs liability. For example, there are old industrial areas pretty much everywhere contaminated by all sorts of toxic waste. There was a furniture refinishing business not far from here, and there's a huge groundwater plume of toxic solvents under me. So no wells for us, here.
