A mute person has the right too :)

A mute person can write. Or sign. A corporate entity doesn't communicate in any way. Because... It obviously cannot.
Freedom of speech exists so that entities are presumed to be able to say things without interference from the government. An absolutist stance such as yours results in things like governments disincorporating newspapers that publish politically unfavorable content simply because the newspaper is s corporation and it can't itself physically speak (or write something, or publish something) without a human intermediary.
