If a company lobbying for change that would benefit them is political, almost all companies are political.

Yes. That’s literally the definition of lobbying: getting involved in politics to get your way. It doesn’t have to mean corruption.

From Merriam-Webster[0]:

> lobby (v)

> to conduct activities aimed at influencing public officials and especially members of a legislative body on legislation

“Public officials” have another name: politicians.
