It wouldn't be the case except for the fact share/stockholders have either abdicated their responsibility to moderate corporate behavior through passive investment structures, or financial engineering has been allowed such that shares/stocks that don't confer some semblance of control or influence over operations has been allowed. Unfortunately, barring fixing that, I, and I cannot at all emphasize my complete disgust toward it, cannot yet articulate some workable alternative other than hands off. But seeing as hands off got us the current situation...
The outcome seems inevitable. Not for lack of trying to come up with any alternative either.
