Eli5, with all of the new updates on the Opiod payouts from drug manufacturers, why are Walgreens and CVS being punished so significantly?

Essentially title. I understand why drug makers who claimed drugs were not addictive or pushed doctors to prescribe with ease should be punished. I’m confused why Walgreens and CVS paid such steep fines. In my head, it feels like suing the airport because Boeing makes terrible planes lately.

Thanks for the help!

Adding onto everything else… The bulk of the sales were also concentrated in Florida, specifically South Florida. This area of Fl had comparative monthly sale amounts to that of the rest of the country combined. The problem was very clear and nothing was done for years. It was really wild to live through all of that here.
