I think the Mall analogy is downright perfect.

The mall is a beautiful, shiny, clean building where you go to hang out with your friends. The shops in the mall are there to lure you to go buy stuff. You aren't paying the mall, but by being there, you're likely to buy something at J. Crew or the food court.

If the mall had an anti-mall lunatic out front, they'd surely remove them too.

In some festering neo-Randite authoritarian’s wet dreams of corporate dystopia, sure.

When did so many people internalise the fiction of companies as their new feudal overlord?

No more so than "The mall is a beautiful, shiny, clean building where you go to hang out with your friends".
