I think it's more true that it's supposed to help the politicians and some of the businesses. Sometimes it also helps residents but I don't think that's really part of the calculation. Of course it is part of the PR.
Big usually means powerful. The big 5 publishers pushed Amazon into accepting the agency model because they had the power. Pope Urban II began the crusades, because he had the power. Powerful people get their way. Powerful companies do as well. It's just the way things work among us silly humans.
