We don't use GDP because we're not a bloody Coal and Steel Union in the 1950s, we're a Service based economy in a Globalised marketplace.

We use Modified GNI (GNI*) - GNI minus the depreciation on Intellectual Property, depreciation on leased aircraft and the net factor income of redomiciled PLCs - which accounts for almost all of what you're citing bar some more egregious BEPS tools which are closed for years.

For someone regurgitating Wikipedia, you're avoiding the obvious article. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modified_gross_national_income
