Given that giant corps like Disney, etc. keep doubling down on this ideology even when it costs them millions, I think it's clear these companies are legitimately infiltrated by True Believers (regardless of whatever the reason was for putting them into positions of power/creating new departments and initiatives for them in the first place).
Calling them Woke is accurate, the entire thing is about signaling/supporting the "right thing," regardless of the motivation.
And regardless if we're talking about individuals or corps, it's usually for selfish reasons.
The problem with virtue signaling is that, in the long run, it may drive support away from an otherwise just cause.
Public support of LGBTQ is (at least in my opinion) a good cause, but making it shallow, corporate and ostracizing moderate supporters in favor of loud ones and late supporters, that’s often not a good idea.
