I don't really disagree with anything you said, but I would suggest that this kind of thinking is largely at the root of a lot of society's problems. Big corporations have become almost as powerful as governments in many respects. They are integral to our lives in a myriad of was we probably don't even notice. Yet we don't just allow them to be completely amoral, we expect them to behave that way, almost demand that they do.

The result is that we have a lot of amoral institutions playing a key role in our society.
