I mean, the concept of a corporation was created as a consequence dodge to begin with…
Kind of?
Like a thousand years ago in Italy the concept started.

If something bad happened the guy with the boat an no money was liable for the loss of cargo, and wouldn’t have the funds to pay, they’d just go bankrupt.
If nothing bad happened, the guy with no money paid back the investor plus profits.
Then it evolved into government enforced monopolies like “East India Trading Co”.

I think you are missing hundreds of years of progressive corporate lawyering to entrench their business model(s) into our society.
Take the US for example. Originally corporations had to be for the public good, were time limited, and the owners were held directly financially accountable for their decisions.
It took hundreds of years of court cases and lobbying to get to the point where we are now and it is absolutely insane. There is a reason the corporation has become the dominant form of our culture.
