Not really that different from giving China and Russia seats at the UNSC. Any large non-democratic org is effectively like any other. Non-democratic nations are just real estate corporate monopolies with insourced security. The East India Company effectively ran nations.

Some measure of leveraged impact potential via control/dominance of critical technologies (not necessarily through ownership). The UNSC is basically nuclear powers.

Now I’m thinking how disruptive it would be to suddenly turn off Amazon. Certainly more than Facebook. But there are plenty of competitors and substitutes. Probably Wallmart gets a lot bigger.

Way more people would fight you on that one, likely a solid majority of consumers. Like basically nobody misses old retail except those who own it.
