If you founded a successful company, how would you feel if you were legally forced one day to resign from running it, even though you've done nothing wrong? Under either capitalism or communism, this seems unfair.

Not particularly happy, but once a company is worth multiple hundreds of billions of dollars, the public interest if probably better served by the company's incentives being more closely aligned with wider society's wishes.
The fact that someone is allowed to be the leader of a massive too-big-to-fail company for the rest of their lives just because they happened to be employee #1 seems extremely unfair.
We should stop pretending that the CEO is the one doing the work and delivering the value.
Absolutely anyone can be a great CEO if they have lots of smart people under them.
This is kind of a narrow way too look at things, isn't it? I think a founder of a company is more than "Employee #1". They are literally the person who envisioned and created the company. That deserves respect and if the founder is not harming the company or breaking laws, I don't see any reason why my government should have the legal ability to make them step down.
