"why is there suddenly a crusade to punish companies that actually follow the rules?"

"The rules"? Rules are reflections of reasonable practices
in a society. If someone finds a loophole to work around
"the rules" beyond any reason, when profits are not
only inflated but actually become losses, the rules will
be corrected by society. Very simple. Get ready.
