That is exactly what I have in mind. "Eminent domain" doesn't mean just taking things with no recompense, but I don't think the company should be entitled to profit maximization at the expense of literally billions of people worldwide.

Eminent domain would be on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis. No country has 'billions of people'.
It adds up to the same thing in aggregate.

But also, if you change it to "millions of people", the point is no less valid.

India and China each have billions of people.
India and China both have about 1.4 billion each.

To say 'billions', I'd assume you'd want at least 2?
