I agree with you, but the organizations clearly have no morals. If you want to infer that means the boardroom occupants are a bunch of ghouls then sure. But we haven't meaningfully held an executive to account for a corporation's actions for a long time. The end effect is a sociopathic pursuit of money.

That's exactly the problem but it not the same than saying "Corporations aren’t people and don’t have morals".

Where's the morality then? What have they done for their employees and customers that wasn't forced by law?

Nothing. Which is what is showing that companies could be punished for not following the laws.
