Courts have before and since made (or accepted) several exceptions to that, some which benefit corporations (limited liability), and some which don't (corporations face regulations, corporations don't have "freedom of religion").
In fact, what people are talking about is a court decision that reversed earlier precedent. If the issue had been settled since 1886, that wouldn't have been the case, and the current decision wouldn't be notable.
