You are right, but it is part of a bigger picture. Mutual Funds and other institutions sit silently and do not change managements of the corporations in which they own shares.

Why?

They don't want to put a spotlight on their own incompetent stock picking. Mutual Funds have historically done no better, and often worse, than random stock picking and the managers make huge pay and perks.

This is symptomatic of our entire system. That is, "don't rock the boat," so the mega rich and powerful can feed of the teat of the masses.

So, lending out of shares for shorting is all part of maximizing short term returns. Who knows what the fees and kick backs look like in this situation.
