    why is that move considered political?

    Political lobbying is kind of inherently political, no? They weren’t passive observers or commentators; they hired lobbyists to influence the legislative outcome.

    Actively working to shape the legal structure of the country to better suit their company is politics. It’s different from culture war politics, but it’s still politics.

    If anything, economic politics are what traditionally drove a lot of the political divide in this country. That’s taken a back seat to a degree, but it hasn’t made it not political.

      You’re right. If they used our political system for their benefit, then yes, it was a political move.
