The simplest answer is that the people/companies have money. It's easier to go after them in the civil courts where it's easier to secure a judgement and collect huge fines than to pursue them in criminal court with a higher chance of losing (some of these actions might not even be crimes) and a lower return. They could do both, but if the government is collecting billions in fines, they don't really care about sending "productive" people to jail.
