Less about guts than the fact no-one will see this ruling; news content is so global and so quick that it will pass up most who need to see it.

This is the reason that "just don't buy from bad businesses" is a terrible solution. Even if someone magically know who was bad at a point in time a company can change for better or worse and there is just too much to keep track of.
