There isn't a practical problem with corporations "speaking" when they get to do so with the same "volume" as other "people."

Yes there is. The people who own the corporations are already capable of "speaking"- allowing the corporation to "speak" gives the advantaged a double voice. Of course if you want to build a system where the wealthy, who already exploit personal access, also have corporate vehicles to advance the benefits of the wealthy and connected, then it's a fabulous idea.

I corporations were actually living and breathing- like former slaves- then it might make some sense to "free" them, but as it is, no.
