For some reason people never learn the lessons when it comes to sacred cows of US corporatism. People think that they personally will receive Infinite Corporate Benevolence, and not Infinite Corporate Evil. And then they get shafted, of course.

Really, people are all too happy to bring cyberpunk into reality, as soon as possible.

Corporatism is a different thing.

I think they rather mean "corporatocracy": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporatocracy

Or perhaps a Coprotocracy [1], if that's not too "fecetious".
