economic sense for any company to jump into the culture wars. They will inevitably alienate a substantial part of their customer base.
It did make sense decades ago for corporations and smaller companies to give money to and promote good causes that were universally admired in the community. It built up good will for the companies and the leaders could feel that they were doing good for the community.
Jumping into these culture wars on the other hand has cost some companies pretty big bucks, and yet they continue to hammer away with their controversial agendas regardless of the harm they do to the companies and the stock holders.
To my mind this just reinforces the impression that there is a very deep pocketed cabal willing to do whatever it takes to move public opinion regardless of the costs.
