Problem is it’s not monolithic. There are great journalists in these orgs that would resist, but top down where they work is captured by monied interests. Those that, as you say, would totally bend the knee for access to a captured market.

That's the fun side effect of NOTHING mattering except revenue and engagement.

They don't care what's right or how their companies will look in the history books. They just care about finding the path of least risk to shareholder value.
