What would motivate companies to this shift? Some kind of tax or regulation? Companies don’t care about resilience, they care about selling things.

The state. With the power of a state.

Regulation, taxes, law. Can also just take over their business. Oh and they have military.

The state can do literally anything it wants.

It just often shouldn't, because a lot of escalative actions have quite the collateral.

But you don't need any of those to steer here.
