Also, why would UnitedHealthcare reward the terrorists (their perspective) by reneging on the surgery premiums, thereby showing people that violence will be rewarded?

This feels a lot like the public's understanding of police brutality, where everyone thinks that 1 guy at the top controls everything, when in reality it's the 2 lower rings of power below them (lieutenants). This feels like the board of directors holding CEOs accountable (to them), maybe because Brian was squeezing the public too hard too fast

CEOs alone don't control everything and large amounts of power are distributed among a small group of people

those people can hold the top accountable

squeezing too hard builds revolutionary sentiment

If you actually think the other executives at United Health had him killed because he was squeezing the public too hard you need to lay off the mafia movies for a bit.
