Government favors huge corporations because huge corporations favor governments.
Governments can "tilt" the "playing field" to give businesses advantages over the less politically involved competition.
Democracy. Crony-capitalism. Materialism. Rule of the mob.

Attempting to control others and attempting to avoid being controlled by others are powerful human instincts. Corporations have a lot of power and it's only natural for them to attempt to control those who might impose regulatory limits on their behavior. The public could impose some control over this process but the public is rarely united. Uniting the public usually requires some sort of Catastrophic Unifying Event like the Triangle Shirt Factory fire. This is an example of Punctuated Equilibrium.
