At that point it's really a fundamental problem with our society that allows and even incentivizes the growth of such companies.
Actually it's fine - they go bankrupt. Look at the list of companies that make it through time, it's very short.

That suggests it's perhaps about what's good for investors, not what's good for companies themselves.
It's 100% of PE-owned companies.
