They could have kept a low profile and quietly shilled, gamed, advertised and manipulated without nobody who isn't keenly paying attention really noticing.

But that would not achieve their true purpose: virtue signalling to their San Francisco peers and other woketards. This is why woketards are so lethal to any large organisation - their personal objectives (getting virtue points) is often at odds with the objectives of the organisation (gaining market share, making money). And woketards are some of the most self-centred narcissists you will find, so they find it impossible to put their own personal objectives aside.

I think that's why they decided not to do an IPO and not to become a publicly-traded company. Because if they did, then doing what you said would actually be illegal and they could go to jail or get massive fines, instead of it merely being bad business sense.
