nor should we, because we can't yet regrow chopped off limbs. 100% is clearly excessive, but when the fine is simply money, which corporations can "regrow", then they're just the cost of doing business. Like speeding tickets are just fun tax for car enthusiasts, rather than an avidly deterrent, or how parking tickets are just the cost to pay to park somewhere you're not supposed to, instead of not parking there.
something more incentivizing than a mere fine wants to be levied upon corporations to get them to follow the law, rather than just saving up money to pay an expected fine.
My thought up reply got eaten by an unexpected refresh so here is a shorter version: boy, not complying with the regulations sure paid off for Apple and their Lightning cables huh?
Also speeding becomes reckless driving (with jail time) and parking in dumb places gets your car towed (and possibly damaged) so banking in money to avoid rules isn’t always exactly a winning strategy.
