Specifically because in these companies they aren't optimizing for ethical behaviour.
They're optimizing for profit. And those damn ethicists just get in the way.
Funny thing: that doesn't typically happen to the internal legal counsel or accounting that's responsible for guiding processes/practices that are required for compliance or similar.
Why?

I don’t find that funny at all. AI didn’t invent the problem of balancing profit motives with ethical guard rails.
I wouldn’t be surprised if many AI ethics responsibilities move to legal in the future.
