I don't think the rationale is that they are a large corporation or have lots of money. It's that they have many, many, many more users that would be affected than most companies have.

I imagine they also have significant resources to contribute to dealing with breaches - eg, analysing past cookouts by the bad actor, designing mitigations, etc.
