It's because they can quantify damages that way. Because you legally cannot put a value on the life of a "human" (still unsure if CEOs are human, but legally they still are), it's just "murder" and not "you cost us eleventy billion dollars in downtime." One is more negotiable in terms of damages than the other.
Then Ceos should be treated and charged with every crime a company commits or this is another class problem I'm going to solve. The guy who made the opiod crisis literally walked away with a billion dollar fine but should've gotten multiple live sentences for multiple murders.
