The U.S. isn’t an outlier in granting “more rights to corporations than other countries.” We just have less restrictive speech laws across the board. Countries that impose limits on speech through corporations also have much stronger limits on speech by individuals.

"personhood" doesn't require voting rights. Babies have personhood even if they cannot vote.
Personhood can be applied to "natural persons", like people, and "judicial persons", like companies.
Personhood can also be applied to, for example, rivers.

That is no longer universally true: https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/delaware-court-upho...
