Many people, especially libertarians, imagine a government to be a highly corruptible monolith; they also imagine these companies to be dynamic and ever changing.
Thus a government will always be corrupt and always try to push you down; Coca-Cola might be corrupt for now but will grow out of it as soon as we get new blood in leadership roles.
