Maybe so, but the big companies don't have sincere values beyond financial self-interest. They'll only act if pushed into feeling that their credibility is at stake. Otherwise they'll pursue more conservative paths that benefit them and other large entities exclusively, like lobbying for carve-outs and exemptions, to the detriment of everyone else.
