The only reason businesses are tolerated is for the greater benefit.
If a paint company is dumping waste in the river we get them to stop. They push back and say "if you stop you won't have paint" and we work out a tradeoff.
Some businesses have hacked the system. For example finance is a service business but some people who just use it for self-enrichment have managed to persuade others that that is for the public good. That won't last forever, but certainly will take a long time (many more human lifespans I suspect, unfortunately) to damp out.
We see it now with fracking, if it only hurts the local population and benefits others, they are ignored. That’s not even to mention conflict minerals and the horrible working conditions in other countries.
