But thats an issue with the inclusion rules. The question is if adding a stock to the fund constitutes forcing people to buy it.

And why did SpaceX want the rules changed? Because anyone holding those passive indexes (a huge percent of holdings) would be forced to either liquidate them or invest in SpaceX
