There's a difference between "the executives are bad people doing a bad thing that is _maybe_ tortious" and "the executives are committing a crime".

OP was claiming the latter is rare. You're saying the former is common. They're not the same thing though.

Just because it isn’t prosecuted in our system doesn’t mean that the execs choosing to poison people isn’t a crime.

Maybe I have a naive view of the law, but when you read a report that says your chemicals are poisoning people, and you choose to dump it in public waterways, you’re guilty of a crime personally.

You're confusing the concepts of "immoral" and "illegal".
Poisoning people is a crime.
If you say so, dude.
