Not a lawyer, but I suspect a key distinction is the part where he was arrested, prosecuted, and convicted of specific crimes.

And the first half of my question is why that precedent (or that of Michelle Carter) does not apply in the instance of a company whose products commit the exact same infractions that individual human beings have already been prosecuted for.

Again: one person. And when others have been prosecuted, the courts have said "nope, that's unconstitutional." But you are ascribing special importance to the outlier case because it supports your preferred outcome.
