Yep. Virtue signaling plain and simple. There is no reason to advertise to such a small fringe group; the cost of the ads can't be covered by such a small potential increase in sales, if there even is any.

It looks like peak wokeness is behind us. There is clearly some pushback, and now that the anti-woke are realizing that resistance is not futile (see Bud Light), there will be more and more pushback.
