It seems like everyone forgot about standing against major corporations that eliminate DEl and supporting small businesses-only to turn around and go back a few days later for something like cheaper cake. What's the point of starting a movement if everyone abandons it so quickly?

I agree. They're apparently getting a lot of exposure over this. Although I have to say I agree with the statements about fondant sucking

The only good fondant I've ever had was marshmallow fondant. THAT is an acceptable cake covering.

(Made it myself years ago from some recipe I googled.)

On this note, why don't more bakeries use it?? Why's it always that chemical ass bullshit fondant?

The chemical ass bullshit comes in a huge bucket for $0.12 a gallon.
