Let's be real, it's not even that the changes will lose corporations money, it's that the changes will lower their disgustingly bloated earnings by a marginal amount that makes them panic.

Or the shareholders think the change will make them lose money

Or the shareholders consider every potential ¢ left on the table (no matter why) the same as losing that money, no matter how much money they're already making. Que that song from The Greatest Showman:

🎶 All the shine of a thousand spotlights

🎵 All the stars we steal from the nightsky

🎶 Will never be enough

🎵 Never be enough

🎶 Towers of gold are still too little

🎵 These hands could hold the world but it'll

🎶 Never be enough

🎵 Never be enough

🎶 Towers of data are still too little

🎵 This mind could track the world but it'll

🎶 Never be enough
