That’s a false narrative that companies are using as an excuse.
As long as they’re acting in good faith and with full transparency, Good Samaritan laws make them immune to lawsuits and not liable for any ill effects.

that makes it even worse. bottom line is they don’t want to do anything without some kind of expectation of ROI

My point exactly
Which is why they need to be compelled by law.
Some countries have Good Samaritan laws that protects people who honestly want to do their best to help someone from being penalized for it.
Other countries have “duty to act” laws penalizing those who choose not to help in a clear emergency.
Other countries still have BOTH. That’s what’s needed when people are starving, corporate profits are booming and more food is wasted than eaten.
