The only (logical) incentive is to retain power in any setting. This distinguishes dynamics based on the voting structure that enables power - democracy becomes a parameter. Corporations are autocratic (and often to the benefit of the leadership against its shareholders who can’t easily vote). Governments that depend on its population are often democratic, those than don’t are often autocratic (e.g. trading natural resources in exchange for money to pay the army to keep population under control). Democracy developed by extending rights (land, voting) in exchange for participation in wars and later to extend voter bases. So any system is as democratic to the extent to which it’s leadership depends on its “base”.

The “corporate gov” stems from the neoreactionary (NRX) alt right movement (aka dark enlightenment) pushed by Curtis Yarvin and influenced by Nick Land, financed by Peter Thiel. It’s a packaged autocracy.

Based on how incentives work (see references for long term studies) the best average outcome directly depends on democracy level ⇒ worse average outcomes in autocracies.

Here’s a critique https://slatestarcodex.com/2013/10/20/the-anti-reactionary-faq/

There are two very good books that summarize extensive analysis on democracy and how banking developed.
- The dictators handbook
- Fragile by design
