Corporations are people, my friend - Mitt Romney.

Yeah so the law is a lot more nuanced then that and just because of certain legal affordances are made, certainly doesn't mean that the company is made of singular focused human beings all acting in the same way with the same goals.

Quite the opposite, the complexity is enormous there's even an entire area of study for it "Organizational Theory".

Have you looked at ELon Musk, Steve Jobs and many others?

There are hundreds to thousands of other people below them working on hundreds of different things. If anything those 3 are great examples of what I'm talking about. Even Jobs wasn't the singular person making all the decisions, you should look into Jony Ives, Cook etc

Those hundreds to thousands of other people dont matter when the guy at the top sets the direction.

Letting companies get away with incentivizing bad behavior and diffusing blame doesn't make for good policy.

Just as companies earn the monetary rewards of their actions, they should also earn responsibility for their actions.

I didn't say it did, I said you used a bad analogy to make your point. Don't put words in my mouth to make up for your poor analogy.
