It comes back to the same problem as everything else, really. Financial interests enjoy unchecked power. If you have enough money you can do basically anything, and those who have the most money aren't typically the kind of people we should be trusting with the fate of our species.
As long as we tiptoe around it and appease and capitulate, it's not going to get better.
