But instead, they decided it's not worth it so Earls went elsewhere.
Like what is so out of line in that situation? Literally everyone involved acted exactly like every normal business would.

Like it or not, people are free to react the way they did too. It is up to not only Earls, but other companies, to look at what happened and decide if having the marketplace of ideas come down on you for making such a decision is worthwhile.
Remember, the freedom to do things does not create a shield from criticism for what you do. Earls does not deserve special protection. They made a business decision, and they must eat the consequences of that decision - be it positive, negative or indifferent.
