Yeah, its just funny shit, started with people torching the Discord mascot over their age verification shit.

Those are not really the corps we speak of when speaking of the corp state.
Corp states are groups who have the means to organize themselves in 5GW world. Meaning, they can source their own information and stablish truthfulness of the information they are operating with, they can secure their own internal information from being stolen or manipulated externally, etc... in this game a lot of entities can believe they are self-contained cells, but they are just being tricked into thinking they are. Like for instance how Israel has hardware level access to most computers, etc...

The corpo states are deepstates first, who then have one or more heads in the surface society. I doubt we will get to the Snowcrash/Jaihoo's level of popular brands replacing the government, it will be more specialized brands like Palantir and such.
