All these arguments just feel like people wanting the benefits of owning a company without doing the work or taking the risk.
When you accept employment at a company, you do so on their terms -- including whether political activism on the job is permitted.
If you want to set the terms of employment, start or buy a company. Or, I guess, get laws passed that outlaw companies from having a policy you disagree with.
Whether being apolitical is itself political or not is a circular argument -- for some it is, for some it isn't. And that difference is itself a difference of political opinion of the same kind as the others.
