corporations are legal persons, and they can make decisions that negatively effect society as a whole, yet often no single person in the corporations is responsible and each individual may not even see themselves as morally responsible
Well that’s because they are legal fictions and often run by morally bankrupt individuals. The people making the decisions are still responsible for them.
Don’t confuse lack of accountability with lack of responsibility.
Are people responsible for the decisions government representatives they voted for made? How about things like Brexit?
Don't confuse lack of legal exposure under the current regime with lack of accountability. A future regime could hold them accountable.
This is needlessly pedantic. Accountability, like so many other things, does not happen until it does. Of course it's lack now does not preclude its existence in the future.
