Companies arecompelled to enforce trademark infringements or they will lose the rights to their trademark. The government (as least in the US) puts the burden of checking and enforcement (through the civil court system) on the holders of the trademark.

Most large companies could care less about trivial uses of their names, andno doubtspend more dollars in clipping fees and attorney fees fighting these seemingly asinine cases.
