I don't think we can assume white supremacy doesn't threaten business interests. Particularly not in the US, where approximately 2 out of 5 Americans aren't white. How many companies are willing to put on the table as their business model "We'll be actively hostile to 40% of our potential customers?"

People in America dont live in random places. You have parts where everyone is white and parts where everyone is black. Then you have parts where one group is severely dominant. For many if not most businesses, their customer base does not have same racial ration as whole America.
One business' potential customer is another's potential employee and a third's potential competitor.
How many websites have multiple translations available and put effort into accessibility proportional to the amount of the population that could be helped by it? It's not anywhere near 100%.

Why is it that Facebook ignores white supremacist content and targets Amazon labor union content?
For example, SaaS companies aren't going to create white supremacist technology, but they will sell to white supremacists.
