Legitimately, I don't think corporations are thinking on that scale. They can't even see past next quarter.
The OT rules are governed at a national level and incentiving certain hourly amounts is policy created by the elites who know exhausted workers have less energy to question their exploitation. Look at wealth inequaluty by country and hours per week worked by the average person.
Corporations don't think. People do. And elite rich people set policy that the lower classes either accept or rebel against.
