Again, not authoritarian by the political definition. This is about politics, not sociology or philosophy.

If you want to take it broader I could even say my hobbies are authoritarian because I would literally die from depression if I didn't have them, so they are commanding me to do them.

I think it is by the political definition. Economics and Politics are linked very closely

Yes, but a corporation is not a government and has exactly zero authority. Not over politics or over people. Authority is given, not implied. No one has given authority to corporations and a singular corporation is not needed to govern and can be easily replaced. A governing body is different.

Please don't try to take this further. This is simply about the definition of authoritarianism. I'm not really in the mood to philosophize what authority is.
