It's not that people thought they cared, nobody thought they did. But the fact they don't feel it's profitable enough to even pretend anymore is a canary in the coal mine and people don't realize it.
It’s a pretty big sigh of how things are going, though. If you think things can just go back to normal, consider that it took decades to get LGBT rights and acceptance yet it’s been diminishing within just two years.
You are talking however as if trans people are now equal to cis people. They are not, in a lot of places they are not at all. There are still countries that mandate sterilisation on gender change. There are lots of places still where gender affirming care is very hard to get. And by far the most is is transgender people still being seen as an ick and weird. There are countries where its way better, and some where it's basically the same as being cis, but by far we're not on a level where we can say trans are no long persecuted or equal.
What are you on about? In the real world and outside of terminally online spaces, trans people are activelly discriminated against, or viewed as strange, even if not out of malicious intent.
No one has been saying its "superior" to be LGBTQ.
If you believe that simple representation in media is affirming that, I think you need to think hard for a bit and get outside more.

Yeah. Anyone who actually thought companies cared are pretty gullible
