As you've seen from the article, this is not "scary" in any way because most businesses will go for the money over compatibility with their moral views.
Also, advocating or even practicing exclusivity is not a precedent as it has been going on for centuries, in thousands of different forms.
Some of those most people disagree (e.g. there was a time a black man would not be served in many restaurants) and some of those people accept as completely valid (e.g. I'm sure there are many country clubs I'm not eligible to join).

If I frequent a restaurant, but one day they decide to impose their moral values and kick me out, I can always go somewhere else. But if I build my business on top of some vendor's platform, and then one day they decide to impose their moral values and kick me off, now my business is screwed.
