Attacking a companny/person behind an argument for unrelated issues is a definition of "ad hominem".

They're the messenger. The idea behind an ad hominem is to attack the messenger instead of the message - whether the messenger is a human or corporation doesn't really matter. Who's behind the argument doesn't matter, if the argument is solid.
