In my opinion tech companies are not just shutting Trump down because he inspired his followers to enter the Capitol, they are shutting him down because he has become an actual threat to their operation. It's easy to see the consequences of a coup for social media companies like Twitter that had been partially shutting down Trump for months, not to mention how devastating it would be for the country's economy.
So in a way social media companies are setting a precedent to ban politicians and organization leaders that they deem a threat to them or to "democracy". Hopefully it won't become a trump card to ban innocent users.
