If it's a public corporation, they're legally required to put profit ahead of all else.

This is simply not true. Corporations put virtue signalling ahead of profits quite frequently.

I will of course agree that much of the virtue signalling is vapid and empty, but this libertarian talking point that all corporations care about is profit doesn't explain why every major corporation has a diversity initiative or board or department.

But they virtue signal for profit. Look at the opposite end, like Nestle. That company's reputation is awful, lot of people avoid any of their very numerous products. People want to buy from the good guys.

Oh please, Nestle circlejerk is exclusive to Reddit.

They bring their own water from home in a hydroflask and pretend they're making a difference while buying from one of many of Nestle's subsidiaries.

You mean I'm not saving the world by not eating a Hot Pocket? I guess not, but there's just companies I don't want having my money.

Agreed. Not a good business decision to kick off the president of the US... and then start work on tossing half of the country. Clearly business suicide and there clearly is an alternative motive that has nothing to do with financial profit. Maybe just further the divide or maybe there is more to it than that.

Mozilla is literally a non-profit, which means they're legally required not to make a profit.
