It is all calculated and they know what they are doing, it keep people from calling them out for other bad things they do and they attract new customers who buy their products and offset those who boycott them and most that boycott them will come back because they like the product.By the way, "indulges" is a dumb way of putting it. They're getting a lot of publicity and money out of this. Businesses like Ben & Jerry's and Unilever didn't make millions and billions by merely indulging people. Right wingers don't want to face this reality, but businesses aren't siding with liberals on the culture war because they want to lose money. They've done the calculations and they're profiting whether you like it or not.
I like Nike sneakers, I think their liberal BS is stupid and pandering to drive sales and seem like a good company but I am not going to boycott them because it will not do anything. We are all just consumers in the end and these companies will do whatever to drive sales and make a profit.
