They may have been pressured to do it, but ultimately they made the decision based on what they thought would make them most money. No one has the ability to force them completely against their will.

Sure they didn't had a gun against their heads... but the "brand value" and "societal norms" is pretty indicatives that it wasn't because they wanted to, but because pressure groups were against them and they folded...

And as always in those cases I pray for a very big backlash and loss of profits for they to see that a mouthful minority isn't their market and listening to them will only make they less money.

If this will lead to a massive loss of profit because of huge backlash, this just means that F1 has poor leadership and lacks understanding of their market. And the leadership should be held accountable for that.

But I think that in that case, you should criticize F1 for listening to said minority, not criticizing the minority for voicing their opinion. They're the ones calling the shots after all.
