As a trillion dollar company with hundreds of billions in the bank we can expect more from them. And if the legal system has perverse incentives that should be fixed through reform, not apathy.

I don't think that any reform of the legal system can get rid of people whose business model is litigation. You can't get rid of legal trolls without denying justice to actual victims of corporate wrongdoing.

Also, I would be extremely suspicious of any reform of the legal system coming from megacorps.

This is not to say the system cannot be improved, it's just wicked hard and you cannot blame any single actor for not doing that.

It does feel prevalent in large corporations though.

It’s not bogus if they lost the lawsuit.
