I'm curious what your definition for "full backing" is. Trump had a banner advertisement on youtube on election day. NetPAC and similar corporate pacs donate as much or more to Republic candidates as dems. Similarly, you have many powerful people in silicon valley, including Paul Graham criticizing companies for dropping the veneer of impartiality that favored trump, and moving to actually uphold their own values. Wallstreet similarly didn't exactly do much to favor biden. You can't talk about the media without mentioning fox, which is the largest single media institution, and favored Trump until at least December. Yes, biden had much stronger support from individuals, and in some cases that translated to endorsement from institutions. But it didn't really translate to institutional support like you seem to be implying. I mean the only sort of institutional support you could argue is that generic GOTV efforts favor dems, which while true isn't strong favoritism. There's a vast difference between targeted lobbying for a particular policy position (especially when there isn't a clear opposition, who is the group that lobbies for clear govt managed tax handling?) And political campaigning. For the first, you don't even need to appeal to voters.
