Why did companies get bailouts during the 2008 global financial crash?

Didn’t some of these companies cause the crash? Or at least help it. Feels kind of unfair that they get off scot-free.

What would have happened if the government didn’t bail them out? Would we ever recover?

They were deemed too big to fail. Basically, they’re so big that if they failed it supposedly would have been catastrophic for the economy.
