I sometimes wonder why out of all the people living in misery why someone hasn’t gone on to just pick a CEO and…

As long as mainstream media exists, any lone actor will be branded as a terrorist or murderer and will be viewed as this by most people rather than the start of a movement. This makes it very likely to be arrested or killed as well as bring harm and unwanted attention to your loved ones.
The rich people are fairly well protected, by living in exclusive neighborhoods, spending time where threats can't afford to get near, knowing the police are there to protect them.
People are taught to give our right to self defense to the state, that self defense is not ok for "civilized people" except in cases of immediate mortal danger.
Don't kid yourself, the whole point of the state is to facilitate relatively safe theft from classes not in control of it. We are taught to conflate it with "government" and told that it is necessary to prevent utter chaos.
The reason you see right wingers shooting stuff up is I think might have something to do with their lesser ability to reason why such actions are not actually in their favor. That is to say, they are dumber.
The word "state" when used this way refers to a group of people that feel entitled to use violence to formally dominate a given region. Unlike a simple gang, they create strict formal hierarchy and have rules that apply to those they dominate but not them. They are allowed to use violence and this is acceptable, me and you are not allowed to defend ourselves, we are to give up virtually all our "rights" to self-defense to the state. A state gaslights it's victims into believing that it is necessary to protect them from themselves and other states, and the only way civilization can exist.
This is not to be confused with "government", which is a management function most states perform to some degree and which does not require a state.
