That’s not how business works. If the cost outweighs the benefit you adapt or fail. Most companies fail without anyone going to prison.

Why not have no cap and cause significant damage to the company. Would that be so bad? Would they all flee the country?

Edit: it just occured to me that there are normal people out there just like me only super wealthy and just bribing politicians like it's nothing. It's nuts on a societal level. Imagine being so selfish.

Regarding the edit: is there anything to indicate that they're anything like you and me? Is hoarding resources in such excessive quantities at the cost of so many others not tantamount to a personality disorder?

Is there a cap? I actually have no idea how this amount was determined. It seems too low to persuade Google to change their ways but that's just like, my opinion, man.

How much would it take for Google to change their business practices? Say there was a tax on holding and using personal information. At what point does Google say "this isn't worth it"?
