Companies turn evil when millions of morons approach them waving money, hoping for a chance at recognition/importance by joining in another mass trend.
Sort of like hoping to be praised for buying the right kind of Kroger Original Select arugula.

"We need to do more than sell ductwork, we need to change the world for the better"
one will chime in "But sir, can't we do that more ethically as private, individual citizens? Why do we have to pretend we're making the world a better place when all we, as a company, are incentivized by, are profits, isn't it immoral to trick people into thinking we are participating in social change with a pro-movement message we have no intention of actually following through on?"
"Get the fuck out."

After the 1960s all of this changed. "We have to pander to the moralistic egalitarian audience!"
Luckily for them it is a tiny fraction of their profits, and bringing in more audience seems to bring even more money, so...
