A relatively small company can’t afford to fight a protracted legal battle or simply ignore the law. They have employees with families, and $800/hr for legal representation adds up fast, not to mention potentially getting hit with $6500 fines per infraction for refusal to comply. They also can’t afford to just not sell in California, which has a huge chunk of the US population.

We don’t have to be happy about the state of things, but it’s not their fault that capitalism and authoritarianism have effectively forced them to comply.

Be upset by all means, but remember to focus your anger upon those who actually put/is putting these laws in place.
