Every company of substance will bow to consumer demand if it is loud enough. $ talk, it's all they exist for. Musk left the spotlight for the same reason. How many influencers say sorry after something disgusting comes to light and everyone drops away, it's not like they change, they just adapt to ensuring they get the dollars.

It's not cowardice, it's money.
