It doesn't need to be a "grand conspiracy" to recognize that there are very powerful people with a vested interest in this stuff never seeing the light of day, and that people have been pushing against progress in this area since alternatives became a thing.
There doesn't have to be a ruling class of mustache twisting evil billionaires to have strong forces against progress.
You're point about "some corporations pushing against" is true. But those corporations/people are extremely influential in policy that affects everyone. It's not some insignificant side note.
