Because they are corrupt? Could be? Large companies are basically centrally controlled economies, and we know how that turns out..
It seems to me that large companies live in a special bubble where they are willing to pay extra for everything. On the other hand, they also charge extra, so externally, it will mostly cancel out.
The winners of this scheme are probably the people involved in running (either directly or as shareholders) these large companies, because their salaries (and other bonuses) are artificially inflated compared to the rest of the society. The losers are probably the government and the taxpayer (i.e. the public), these can be easily made to pay extra but it's difficult for them to charge extra.
