Sorry, but the idea that powerful corporations ever had values is naive to the point of stupidity. The only value that ever mattered to these corporations is the one sitting in their bank account and the fact they used to pride-wash once a year implying they had values is bizarre. They've not folded, they're just following the profit.
It's literally illegal for these publicly traded companies to do anything that would be detrimental to their shareholders. The guy in oval office is telling them there will be consequences for not following his EOs (ie: lowering shareholder value). There's not any decision to be made here (not that they aren't laughing to the bank either way)
