Pre-2016, businesses took the same positions - serving international markets and employing foreign workers. They were just not considered political at the time.

People always talked about their heterosexual families and brought their cis sexual identities to work. Then others asked for the same allowances.

People always acknowledged white culture at work. Then others asked for the same allowances.

I don’t think business culture changed so much as politics started to question business culture.

I'm not qualified to talk about business culture in general, but in Silicon Valley specifically there's definitely been a shift beyond just corporate culture. I've personally seen quite a few employees insist that their company should intervene in political controversies unrelated to how the office is run and how workers are treated there.
