It's really not. It's an indicator that corporations figured out they can make money by pretending to care about people they would gladly throw to the wolves if it made them more money. Make no mistake, the corporations do not actually care/support any cause except making money.

i’m fully aware that these corporations absolutely don’t actually care, but acting supportive being more profitable is a sign that the overall attitude of people shifting towards supportiveness. it’s nothing about the corporations themselves

Why do people expect corporations to care? A corporation is a system, not a human. You might as well expect a logistics network to have values.

A corporation is an idea that allows the humans who operate in it's structure, to do so without accountability. But for those who can see, it is very human. It's just a bunch of people. Corporations cant do anything, yet they enjoy legal rights. They cant form mission statements, build products, establish supply chains, set a direction for the company. They cant buy things or pay people, they can discriminate or rip off their customers. They can't pollute or bribe politicians, etc ... all of those things are done by people.
