I think there is probably a difference here between small companies where there is one owner that knows all their employees and corparations with thousands of employees and anonymous shareholders.
Depends on what the owner contributes to the business and how the profits are distributed. Small business tyrants exist and aren’t any better than the big business ones.
Yeah that’s not how that happens. There is an incentive problem, no doubt. Executives do whatever evil shit to earn money for shareholders, while shareholders elect those bringing in the most money while not caring about how that happens.
People driving combustion cars more than required because its convenient are not evil people and yet they ruin the climate slowly but surely. Its an incentive problem.

Yeah those shares are owned by somebody and that’s usually consumers too… I’d wager most of them are good people too.
Given the objectively evil things shareholders force companies to do, I’d say the majority by percentage of ownership are not good people.
