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.

How is it going to make them less money? It's not like the grid girls in F1 were much in the way of eye candy as in other motorsports. The whole dress code in recent years was a lot less revealing/sexualised than in the 90s and they were still making tons money.

Grid girls were only ever a small part of the spectacle and it'll probably save them money not having to pay them by replacing them with free volunteers they get in the kids/mascots.
