These companies all need government funded infrastructure to profit from. Basically tax payer money.

At least in a Cyberpunk world Arasaka has their own universities and power plants. We can't even have that.

You'll never guess what structure contributes most to "government funds": guess what, it starts with "com" and ends with "panies".
I paid 9 thousand in taxes this year, does that give me the privilege to take out 80k in loans, no questions asked? That's pretty much what you're arguing.

And that's not even a fair comparison. My loan wouldn't go towards something that ultimately raises everyone else's energy bills and become a noise pollution factor.
