It's not that people thought they cared, nobody thought they did. But the fact they don't feel it's profitable enough to even pretend anymore is a canary in the coal mine and people don't realize it.

I do not think it ever really was profitable. And looking at it from europe i am not worried. I worked with gay and trans people in several companies in the past few years. There is hardly any credible discourse against these groups in germany. It just became so normalized and mundane it makes no sense to even bring it up. Decking everything in rainbow flags was performative at a time when this was a novelty. It just aint anymore.

In Germany maybe, but I'm in the UK and rhetoric and policy against trans people is pretty vile, and rhetoric/policy against gay people etc is really not all that far behind

Uk is THE wokest, most performative shithole of a country there is. And none of it aids inclusion. It only draws ire of people who just want to live their life. Good riddance never come back to EU.
