It's because people work in their own self-interest, and the interest of large business owners is always in conflict with their employees. Business owners want to extract maximum value from workers for minimum pay.

It's unwise to think of business owners as left or right leaning, or to think their espoused politics are any indication of how they will act when push comes to shove. Owners are always perpetuating class war against workers.

Business have values and use politics to their advantage. Business owners are the same. Trying to eschew, or more directly what you're doing - excuse, the bad things people of a certain groups do while calling out anither isn't helpful.
My bad, I wasn't trying to excuse anything. Perhaps a better way to put it is that all business owners will use right-wing politics to their advantage, and to think that a purported "left-wing" owner of a large business will treat you better is naive in the long run.
