Yeah, but corporations are paid lots of money to not be lazy.

No, they're not -- they're paid lots of money to satisfy the demand that actually exists in the market.
But they are not even doing that - see: false advertising, captive markets, monopolies, etc.
But those things are not what consumers are paying for. It's totally appropriate to hold firms accountable when they are doing manipulative things instead of satisfying demand, but restricting them from fulfilling the demand that actually exists on account of some third party's ideological prescriptions about what the market should be demanding is unacceptable.
