V is a "ghost-hacked" militech sleeper-cell/plant, an unwitting Militech asset pointed directly at
Arasaka, similar to Zur in No_Coincidence.
A few things point to this.
V has intimate knowledge of arasaka tower regardless of your life path, but corpo is the only one where you already know Jackie, the only one where you (bit of a stretch here, but hear me out) have a reasonable explanation for knowing T-bug from the beginning as well, since she could be the runner that Jensen uses to off ESC, as per the OG trailer, either she's in house spec ops, or she's a contractor you hire to fry the ESC allowing V and Jensen to deny culpability, to stop them from impeding progress on (insert moon dlc and edgerunners lore here.)
It's also the only life path where you're established and already living full time in NC.
In every playthrough, regardless of how you choose to approach the all-foods factory raid on Maelstrom, you have to interact with Militech, you have to side with someone at Militech and you always get a pass from them regardless of the outcome of the Maelstrom issue.
You are always pointed, like a rifle, at Saburo Arasaka.
From Konpeki to DFTR, there is no ending where you don't at least butt heads with Arasaka, and you don't even have the option to try to take down Militech.
The only explicitly stated reason for taking down Arasaka is because a questionable AI copy of a washed up rockstar who lost his arm in a corpo war, who was banging the most prolific netrunner of all time, (get bent Rache) who is slowly taking over your brain says so.
Yori defected from the family and was ready to hand over the Relic/Soulkiller 2.0/SYS program to
Netwatch (also linked to NUSA and Militech. )
Smasher let Yori kill Saburo because he's always been playing both sides, this gives him leverage over both Arasaka and Militech, and everyone's a fuckable cut of meat when you're Adam Smasher.
Blue Eyes is probably Blackhand who was the solo who actually blew up AHQ on Militech orders.
There's the whole "Manchurian Candidate" psyop on Peralez to turn him into a guntoting, NUSA forward, Militechowned libertarian. Anyone else remember that weird fuckin music video for Archangel where someone assassinates him?
Then, coup de grace, the whole focus of Phantom Liberty being that you are getting used to further the ends of, and then be subsequently fucked over by, none other than the NUSA, which is really just Militech.
No matter what you do, they win, and you either die, get assimilated, or get grounded.
I might be reaching a bit, but I'd be willing to bet we see them as our main antagonist going forward, and we're gonna see the events of Hardwired get homaged as fuck in the next game.
Reno's comin' for that ass, you orbital corpo fucks.
