These are companies driven by greed. If they're in any way culpable, they should suffer consequences. There's nothing else to it.

The root motivation may very well be greed - I'm not attempting to go that deep. And whether or not they should or shouldn't suffer consequences is also a different issue.

It's not a different issue. If they're responsible, there should be consequences.
