Because conditions (political and cultural) existed back then that don't exist now.
Back then Rockefeller can organize his Pinkerton Detectives to kill off dozens of striking underpaid mineworkers.
Nowadays, due to the shift in economy from manual labor, Rockefeller better pay damn good money or he'd have to work his mines his damn self.
