Navajo speakers aren't a political bloc, they're a linguistic bloc, and support for languages is driven by revenue potential in any software company I've ever seen.

Language is partly power and identity. Definitely somewhat political.

Cultural respect should not be contingent on monetary incentives.

While I have no doubt that this is said with well intentions, imagine a systemic way of dealing with this that is not facism.

A company choosing where in the world they want to do business has approximately nothing to do with “cultural respect” as far as I understand the term.
