I’d argue grounding is more serious as it inflicts pain on their customers as well.

this is a hilarious take. It's certainly more serious for their customers, but is it more serious for the responsible parties (the board of directors)? It seems clearly not.

They all have golden parachutes, I’m sure. What consequences will they actually face even if canned? I’m serious.

You know 'enough money to live very very very well' isn't enough for people who climb to the top to be on the board of such of a corporation. They care just as much about reputation, further ability to work to make more money, and more money.

Observing the whole debacle I very much doubt they care about their 'reputation'

Do you have their names memorized? If you met one dining with their family at a country club, would you know what they did?

Their personal reputations are still largely intact.

Well person who would be attending country club would know that they raised shareholders value and more than likely helped to them to gain X millions of Dollars.

Also bar them from serving as an officer of a public company. That will hurt.
