I completely agree. That's why I was trying to distance my argument from the perspective of whether GoFundMe made a good or bad decision.

I just wanted to bring up the point from a societal perspective, since it's society as a whole who often calls for actions like this from big companies (making it a "good" decision for them even if just for the PR). Are we going to see a positive change in society from this, is it just irrelevant in the end, or could we even be making the issue harder to fight in the long run?

I don't necessarily have a strong opinion on what the answer to that question is, it's just genuinely a question.
