Term of U.S. copyright

Title 17, Ch. 3, § 302 of the U.S. Code

>   Since only natural persons can create, what logic is there at all to the
>idea that unnatural persons would receive a longer term of copyright?

It's actually not longer. It's 95 years from date of publication or 
120 from date of creation, whichever is shorter. The term for natural 
persons is life + 75. So unless you create write a book and die 
before you're 20, the life + 75 will be a longer term than that 
granted to works for hire, anonymous works, etc.
