I guess this is the reason lot of corporates try to stay out of politics. Because once you set a precedence then people will use that as to push their own political agendas. I personally don't like the slippery slope argument since it's very lazy and justifies inaction in many cases. But at the same time when I see news like this, I just wonder how long it will take two different subgroups trying push their own conflicting agendas and how the company should react in such a case.

This isn't people pushing their own political agenda; this is a consequence of the political stance they took. When a company takes a political stance, they should be held accountable for it.

And that's exactly why most business don't(use not to) take public activist stances at first place, rightfully so.

Although right now since everybody is afraid to get cancelled on a whim, corporations are opening themselves to, and you are right in your logic, criticism for their lack of political activism.
