In no other company would a CEO be allowed to essentially go rogue like this

Actually, it happens all the time. The business press had been full of these sorts of characters for centuries.

Currently, even within the HN bubble, there's Mr. Musk, and several others.

No, it doesn't happen often. Because, by definition, it can only happen with dual share class. If a CEO goes rogue then they lose their job. Unless Zuckerberg fires himself, the only way to get off the train is by selling the shares.
