It didn’t need to stated publicly to anybody who understands that businesses (maybe most particularly modern corporations, shareholders and investment firms) act on strategies that they believe will make them the most money with the least risk. I’ve never seen anything change that, especially a blog post.
The same goes for when “Tim Cook frames Apple’s business practices as moral/ethical”. You call this marketing and Tim Cook does it everywhere he goes, Congress or not, all day, every day, because he makes a lot of money for it.
If this letter were run on the front page of NY Times, WaPo, Guardian every day for a week, I cannot imagine could make any discernable difference in the business practices.
Occupy Wall Street, which at least for the most part had it’s finger pointed in the right direction, made no measurable impact on, well, anything. We could speculate some long-shot correlations with fringe left political movements like Bernie Sanders but these things remain certain to be ineffective so long as this letter represents the public’s understanding of the problem.
