If a corporation has legal rights as if it were a person, why aren't they punished like everyone else?

We execute people for committing multiple murders. A corporation can kill hundreds or thousands of people with their pollution or their emissions or whatever else they are doing to skirt regulations and get slapped with a fine far smaller than their profits.

Because, like wealthy people, wealthy corporations just get a slap on the wrist rather than be made an example of.

Because a corporation is just a group of people and punishing the corporation and calling it a day would allow those people actually responsible to get away with it.
