It's still an expression of their opinions and values, even if their opinions and values are simply that they should maintain a favorable public image or that they should retain customers who would otherwise boycott them.

Oh, and you ever thought that Cloudflare should stop providing their services to 8chan, and that your opinion was worth a damn, guess what—your opinion was worth a damn.

I think that's what some people miss.

The First Amendment protects three rights: Speech, Religion, and Assembly

Cloudfare used its right of assembly and chose not to associate with 8chan any longer.

Cloudfare is not required to host anything.

It can have consequences while not being worth anything.

If you want to go down the road of ignoring idiomatic phrases, sure, of course. I'd go as far as to argue that nothing has inherent worth, but I'd much rather stick to the topic and hear what your response to anything that actually pertains to the discussion is.
