It’s hyperbole to suggest that many people at any company would say “yes, let’s kill thousands of people to increase profits 1%”.
Instead they would say “let’s use this contractor, they’re 1% cheaper” never considering that the difference is made up from decreased safety that kills people.
Society only tends to equate these two kinds of cases when action causes very direct harm.
