Yes. I’m sure the irony is lost on some people.

I think the answer is simple. Corporate profits sometimes have to be sacrificed for community and I would call patriotic needs. As we can see in the case of Berkshire Hathaway and others those profits have reached historic levels. CEOs, even those that drive corporations into the ground, are demanding compensation that was unheard of during the height of American industry.
