To be fair, 'the market' is much less strictly economic now – the phrase or even the idea itself, not the network of economic activity (which remains as 'economic' as ever).

Ultimately, the fate of businesses is mostly decided by the economical part of "the market". Looking at how the companies live and die, both in tech industry and outside, I don't believe this issue is significant enough to affect a big organization in a meaningful way.
People get easily outraged - which can and does end up with individuals getting hurt - but they also quickly forget and move to next issue. See also the arguments why boycotts generally don't work.
