If mega institutions are financial extractors who will take all money available, and the units can be rented to make more money, why aren’t they doing it?

Why would the institution turn away free money but individuals owning the houses wouldn’t?

Because commercial real estate works on weird counter-intuitive things, and dropping rental rates adversely affects their entire portfolio more than leaving a building vacant does.
