I realized an incredible flaw in the extraction runs, especially unwilling extractions. Corporations when they hire Runner teams to perform extractions do so because they want to steal talent. While it may be possible to get away with say stealing a prototype or plans and claiming that they developed the technology independent of the other corps it is pretty damn hard to deny the fact that a leading scientest was kidnapped and ended up working for their corporation. If they track down any missing talent and find them in another megacorps possession, well I'm pretty sure thats grounds for an Omega Order.
