That seems like a pretty weak consequence, and not an intended one. Worse, it's one likely to be least impactful for the worst offenders - a megacorp isn't going to care much about fines, and the market won't see any danger to their investment in them.

That is such a frustrating storyline... Why couldn't they just slap a suppression collar on him? Or see if there's a material that might block his power, and make him a suit out of that? Or get him a LMD and let him live virtually through that while he stays safely stashed somewhere? Why do they go straight to "kill him, he's bad PR for us!!!"

I've been trying to avoid soap labelled antibacterial for this reason, and it's tricky to even find any that's not labelled antibacterial.
Been wondering if they don't just slap the label on any soap, because it could be considered antibacterial by its nature. Apparently not?
That's a lot better than what I thought he'd be lining up...
My players ran across some Imperial guardsmen killing off skeletons, only for the orcs accompanying them to protest that they were destroying "registered cultural artifacts!" The orcs didn't have much, and they would leave their bones to their children to help them eke out a meager existence.
As another perspective - it took me a moment or two to work out what was happening in the second picture, but then the whole tableau made sense to me!
I certainly hope that happens. But it's not a reliable enough consequence to justify the currently low level of fines, which was how I read your earlier comment.
