It's absolutely a hard decision, even if an objectively correct one.

It impacts hundreds of people and their families.

I see no reason to believe the sentiment ("appeal-to-emotion") is untruthful.

I hope all affected are able to find good resolutions.

Yeah, even if we assume the decision is coming from a complete sociopath, there's still, somewhere on the line, someone saying 'look, are you sure about this?'

These companies are heartless.

People in the chain, much less so.

It's "hard" in the same sense that Michael deciding to whack Sal in The Godfather was hard.

It's just business for all of them. Nothing hard about it at all.
