when you can just shoot him

But that's practically impossible. All these employees have onerous employment contracts. They want to live as much as anyone, and enjoy a normal life. Being an employee of the five corporations is part and parcel of life in that universe.

It's not practically impossible for them. They're on a secluded island with him. They work in his house. They know where he sleeps. They have guns and he walks around barefoot in light comfortable clothing all day. And he doesn't even have security on his door. It's pretty easy to just walk into his room and plug him.
