If all the air molecules in a box spontaneously moved to one side of it at the same time, you could defeat entropy. This is no more likely to happen than the big players making it the norm to avoid tax reduction schemes.
In a box filled with air, molecules moving to one side leave a gap which results in increased pressure for molecules to move the other way. The same is true of big companies and taxes. You might be able to find some companies who would do this, and investors who prefer money to vague morality (and there's a lot of them) would abandon those companies and put more money into companies who avoid taxes as much as legally possible.
If we want to stop this behavior, the solution must be to make it illegal. Appealing to morality isn't going to get it done.
Consider that many industries literally kill people by poisoning the air or water. Not killing people as a moral principle is a lot more universally held than the idea of paying more tax than you're legally required to, but moral pressure didn't work there. Laws did.
