have you met some of the upper management at companies?

nevermind that. you know companies like Palantir and Flock exist, each with hundreds or thousands of employees?

There's plenty of sociopathy and apathy to go around.

Upper management usually do not personally have direct operational control of systems. Sometimes they will have a flunky, but these are heavily audited systems. Other people can review what happened without asking anyone's permission.
