You're assuming Microsoft acts as a singular, cohesive entity, which like any company it is not.

It's convenient for corporations to have this as an excuse, but they should be assessed as singular entities. They enjoy corporate personhood also.

As the size and influence of an entity increases, it has more power in the economy and therefore should have more responsibility, not less, to act according to high standards.

A gargantuan company that is 7% of the S&P 500 getting whoopsie-daisy passes because it is so large and nobody knows what it's doing is a dystopian situation that we should have incentives in place to discourage
