Disney didn't do the right thing at all, the title is factually incorrect. They held a vote and their shareholders voted to do this so that their stock price/investment doesn't lose value.

Disney doesn't give a shit about anyone or anything other than their stock price. They observed how Target took a financial hit for removing DEI policies and Costco benefited from keeping them, and shareholders acted accordingly.
