Loyalty from a corporate perspective means things like pensions, health care, not laying off 20k people every fall, etc. Like the days that you could work for GE your entire life and actually retire. There was a mutual loyalty. The company took care of you and you therefore took care of the company. Now someone could offer me a couple thousand dollars extra in pay and I'd be gone in a heart beat. Don't forget that legal entity is made of people who decide how that legal entity will function.

Also if corporations can't show loyalty, a human quality, then how can they be people?

I don't think they are people, but the US legal system disagrees with me of late. :(
