The man explained why he did what he did. To refuse to accept the explanation and to act as though you (the royal you, not you specifically) know the "real" reasons is at odds with what is actually happening.

Sure, it wasn't a well-calculated business decision. The timing on the change simply was this owner's sudden realization that we had it all wrong for 100 years. Clearly this was out of the kindness of his heart and there was no business value in doing so. Got it. The Exxon comparison from the standpoint of how companies use PR is a fair one. Nobody suggested anything nefarious. Perhaps you feel all companies and government are altruistic and principled...well, unless they don't share your perspective of the world?
