Companies are run by people. The human employees create copyrighted works that become the property of their employer by the terms of their contract. That's how work for hire contracts work....
You would know this if you have ever worked in any creative field.
I work in a creative field. But companies are companies. If I work for a company and create something, it doesn't belong to a natural person, it immediately goes over to the company.
Not the CEO or CTO or whoever is in management, it belongs to the legal entity. Isn't this a company owning the work I just created? If the CEO dies, the company still owns it.
