AMZN could have for example bought a "Gepard" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flakpanzer_Gepard) - easily shoots down cruise missiles and drones. Just a couple millions would have saved billions.

So you’re saying American corporations should start having their own military divisions.

(I realize it’s a stretch from what you’re suggesting but if you think about it, not really)

That would imply two things:

One> An executive has to care about a cost center, then proceeds to invest in prevention instead of looking like a hero after, instead of putting off a fire an getting a promotion or bonus. Which is nigh impossible.

Two> Our tech overlords try to push for our cyberpunk present to at least look kinda cool. Which they also refuse todo.
