They do and have. That's why there are separate courts, secret hearings, and payouts with NDAs. Most people would take the payout. Look how the auto industry acted, Ford literally decided it was cheaper to pay individual damages thru lawsuits than recall the defective components. That reveal did not dent their reputation.
Systems and institutions are very good at promoting and protecting themselves. They even have ordinary people wrapped up and defending them.
