Basically, think of divesting as an advertisement. Every time a major player does it, the public hears a pro environment message, and leaves thinking climate change is something to act on now, and that green energy is the future. And public perception does have an impact on the future. Let me emphasize the cynicism of this point. As you said, no individual corporation is going to change here (other than running more advertisements to boost their image), because it’s not like they can stop being a fossil fuel company. There’s no carrot to match the stick.
