That is a totally different situation. Your customers can't just do whatever they want to you whenever they want. A board coalition with more than 50% of the shares can. They can say anytime they want, "we want out, your job is now to sell the company at the least possible loss". I have had this happen at a place where I worked.

It can if you only have one customer. The issue is monopsony.

I'm replying to a comment that specifically said "customers" in plural. If you are in a situation with one customer, then really, you're not even talking about a company-and-customers relationship anymore, that's more like a consulting or contracting relationship and is a whole different ball of wax.
