Businesses live because society allows them to live. How about we make humane business models a pre-condition for existence?
"It exists in nature" is not a solid argument for anything. I've read about insects that coerce their mates into copulation under threat of predation. Yet nobody seriously argues that humans should be allowed to rape because rape exists in nature. Such an obviously sociopathic argument just doesn't fly.

It is not a one way street from "mores of society" -> "business practices". Large corporations frequently go to extreme lengths attempting to manipulate what society does and does not allow.

It's worse than that. Some insects (I think it's mantises) will murder each other after copulation. I'm not sure what the evolutionary advantage there is, but this doesn't seem like something humans should emulate.

I argue only that organisms evolve to occupy whatever space is available to them. This true of organisms, it is true of businesses. Both respond to incentives.
