A large company can absorb a lot more risk than an individual, or really any entity smaller than itself.

In fact, that attribute - the ability to absorb risk (and failure) is the reason why a corporation is a useful structure in the first place - nobody wants to take on a billion dollars in credit personally.

True, however large corporations take large risks also. When you invest in services like this its around 1000 USD. Imagine when companies are willing to take upward of 2 billion USD risk they won't do that unless they are sure.
