Actual adults very much consider a person's character and ethics when they're in charge of any high stakes undertaking. Some people are just not up to the job.
It's kind of incredible, people seem to have been trained to think that being unethical is just a part of being the CEO a large business.

> consider a person's character and ethics
Yeah, my point is that considering someone's character doesn't happen at the level of "is/is-not a slimebag", but at more detailed and specific way.

Not just large. A competitive market can be heavily corrupting, regardless of size (and larger businesses can get away with less, so...).
Between this and the 4chanAGI hypothesis, the latter seems more plausible to me, because deciding that someone "is a slimebag and they'd be better off without him" is not something actual adults do when serious issues are at stake, especially not as a group and in a serious-business(-adjacent) setting. If there was a personal reason, it must've been something more concrete.
