>What's strange to me is the speed with which some of these changes were made

That's because while the original commenter is correct in terms of companies doing what they believe their consumer base supports, they ignore half of the equation, which is that it was never JUST about the consumers. It was also about protecting the company from disparate impact lawsuits, where any difference in the makeup of a company compared to the general public could be interpreted as discrimination, regardless of whether it actually does discriminatory practices.

My guess is that these companies feel that with the new US administration the risk of these kind of lawsuits has decreased significantly.
