Okay but why should we afford that consideration to any company at all? They’re supposed to provide something of value. They’re not human beings with corporeal needs. Bayer seems to be doing just fine.

Why not afford it to them?

If someone asks you nicely to do something because it's important to them and it costs you nothing why not do it?

They’re not someone. Asking humans to change their behavior because a brand asks to be represented in an unusual way is asking for free marketing.
