CEOs escaped handcuffs primarily because the prime movers responsible for the crash were in Congress (e.g. Barney Frank, the Massachusetts Democrat) and govt run enterprises (e.g. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac). Many in govt, mostly but not exclusively Democrats, were complicit.
Here's a short list of accomplices who caused the financial crash of 2008: Banks, Federal Reserve, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, many members of Congress, 3 Presidents and their Treasury Secretaries. CEOs weren't tried because court proceeding would have hauled them all into court.
For leftist politicians like @AOC, braying about CEOs (for whom I have no sympathy either) is easy. Looking into government malfeasance caused by their own ideology and Congressional members as well as Presidents of their own party is hard.
