It was pretty stupid for Chapek to suggest they could just respond with "great inclusive content" or whatever he said, especially with Pixar people complaining about everything that was cut over the years.

Elected officials follow the money instead of the electorate, so it only makes sense that people demand more of the companies writing the checks.
