Let's absolutely blame them. Titanic power requires titanic responsibility, and requires titanic consequences for shirking or betraying that responsibility.
These companies make a tradeoff, playing fast and loose in order to move faster at their scale. But the consequence of that tradeoff is that, when they do stumble, when they do commit evil, the hammer must come down all the fiercer. Because they knowingly choose a structure and a way of operating that was prone to such outcomes.
