Corporates are composed of human beings, and those human beings do have
morals, so I don't see why you wouldn't expect a corporation to behave like
the human beings it's composed of (or at least like its finance
department!).

As you wrote, it's not that a corporate is-a bunch of people, but it contains a bunch of people. These are two different things.

(I'd also say that a bunch of people is not the same thing as a single person: in most cases you have multiple morals, and this is a different story).

Why dont they "fix" the rules/laws?

Agreed. Generally speaking, I see moral entities such as associations, churches, or such to call for moral behaviours, including boycotting. If a government calls for boycotting, most likely it's to cover its incapability of doing something (or its secret desire of not doing it).
