They're not private. They're public companies and we care because we're shareholders.

Public doesn't mean they don't own the company.
Sure, but it often also means we (the shareholders) get a voice and so "Why would anyone care about how much CEOs make?" Is "because we are partly the owners and we care about what we own"
