Most large ones are incorporated in Delaware and most of the financial capital is in New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Bad infrastructure, adverse politicians, lousy weather, etc. doesn't make it appealing. Not to mention, all the best finance universities are on the coasts.

Remember, Disney was going to move a lot of its operations to Florida until the state government made them a target. Developers were building housing, stores and restaurants...they took a loss.

It wasn't that long ago Kansas went full trickle down thinking it would bring in more companies. Instead, they started leaving.
