Yes, but I don't think we're there yet.
Even if we assume this bill was passed entirely as an attempt to curry favor with voters, it should be clear that such an attempt would be doomed if it tried to favor big companies while claiming to be aimed at little ones.
Congresspeople try hard to avoid obvious lies, especially about things all voters care about, and most especially during an election year.

I was highly skeptical of their proposal from the get go simply because there wasn't anything preventing "large" players from attaining leverage other than their own sensibilities. Something which sadly is a bit fraught in the historical sense.
