They don't think of it that way. They think "we are paying this person for what I know is a tough job and the value they bring to it." Even though they are definitely colluding. Boeing's board is probably one of the most egregious examples. Dave Calhoun let a door plug fall off and abandoned two people in space, but he still got a huge severance package. Gross.

They don't think of it that way in public, you mean. I'm sure they're laughing their asses off behind closed doors, though.

No, they are genuinely delusional. They think they are doing the world a big service. I'm not sure if that is better or worse...
