Another thought... from your examples, you're probably American. I think American business culture probably has a larger percentage of psychopaths willing to not just creatively interpret the contract in their favour, but outright break it, than most other western countries. It might be, I dunno I'm just going to pluck some numbers from thin air, 10% in most of the western world and 20 or 30% in the USA.

If big corporations always acted like Trump's corporation, nobody could trust that any of them would live up to their side of whatever deals they had. Nobody would be willing to do business with anyone else, and it would all collapse into a great big heap.

Corporations that outright cheat can only thrive so long as they're (1) selective in who they cheat and (2) rare (or at least uncommon). If they were the majority, no corp would trust any other corp and nobody could do business at all.

Ahh yes, I did not even consider you were not American, and that is my mistake. Apologies. Yeah, other countries have real rules to protect people....America is more like a FUCK YOU NORMAL PERSON kind of place that is more of a Corptocracy and less of a Constitutional Republic.
