.... or.... that company sees a revenue stream by 'loose' authentication standards, and knowing the public (ie multiple individuals) interprets 'opinion' to be 'authentication', continues to provide that revenue stream. Or if you'd rather, one company's whole origination is based on a 'loose' authentication.
The point being.... that one is not more susceptible to corruption than the other.
