10. insurnace deals with most all other risk...

There are some notable exceptions where government has stepped in such as with vaccines and Price Anderson for the nuclear industry... but generally insurance is market driven. If a company detects a corporation is engaged in risky behaviors it can change rates. But this doesn't answer the question of why We The People offer free limited liability protections to corporations... with the possible exception that like with patents, it's to serve a public function... and that states may have used the LLC as a lure to attract corporations.
