Regarding the public discourse on these points, I think these big companies have long understood that they lost this battle. On the other hand they also understand their internal realities and that as long as they can make their own business models work, the discourse doesn't really matter, as long as it stays out of the spotlight .

So they take their only logical move, they pump out a bunch of ethics marketing statements they don't believe in, but also importantly that they know the public doesn't believe that they believe in, but that give them plausible deniability and keep them out of the spot light for wrong speak and out of the news cycle.

Meanwhile, they do exactly what they are incentivezed to do which is to keep head count low and make sure almost everybody is a contractor.
