Companies lobby the state for these hand outs. This has nothing to with being "good" and everything to do with them capturing the law making and regulatory processes for their benefit. Politicians are willing whores, no doubt.
Sure Goverment is limp dick but but it takes corporate lobby to make this corruption work.
Very naive take tbh.
Also brave of you to assume they are not actually breaking any laws considering what we know about US mega corp behaviors lol
