This complexity is the problem. Thanks to insufficient funding for education, many people find it difficult to understand to understand complex problems and their full context, so they want simple "solutions" that are black and white, instead of the grey of reality.

Many people also are prone to zero sum thinking. When you tell them that everyone is responsible, they hear "We shouldn't blame corporations, YOU are to blame!"

Even though that's neither what you said nor thought.

Zero sum thinking + cognitive dissonance.
