I disagree about influencing the risk reward calculation because the punishment is supposed to be a deterrent.

If it's just a fine then the money is like fee to do something and remember that it's not always caught.

Imagine if the punishment for murder was $1 million dollars and only if I'm caught.

If the fine is so large it bankrupts the company, I feel optimistic about its effectiveness as a deterrent.
