Again - corporations are not anarchist organizations. People running corporations might want to minimize regulation so that they can run their hierarchical undemocratic power structures without being interfered with by a nominally democratic centralized power structure, but they most certainly do not want to get rid of the power structures that prevent people from, for example, simply appropriating the means of production controlled by that corporation, and they would prevent that using either the power of the state, or in some dystopian nightmare their own private enforcement authority. Disposing of one power structure in favor of many smaller power structures is not anarchism, it is neo-feudalism.

You are most likely confusing anarcho-capitalism with anarchism. Sorry, it isn't. It has a massive blind spot in its theory that ignores the neo-feudalistic implications of their proposals.
