It’s regulated by the US and other local governments. There are internal processes that are also in place to prevent the conflict of interest.

They legally can’t do consulting work for clients they audit, I worked at EY consulting for 5 years and it was a pain because we were missing out on huge projects, hence why they’re spinning off consulting.

That would require the invention of new heat shield tech, getting it up to space (it will be very heavy and horribly expensive to lift), then install it, add parachutes, flotation devices, etc. You’re talking tens of manned flights costing $100m+ each just to recycle 20+ year old tech, no use for it at all.
