Let's apply the same standard, then.
Let it ride until after the election, and then apologize and correct the mistake.
The answer to, "How do I delete someone else's comment?" turned out to be, "$44 billion."
Altruism is never going to be the way to get companies to do the right thing. Instead, making the wrong thing a financial liability is.
Fyi, the US president cannot set prices for these things.

But like colleges will surely find a slightly different metric to give preference to BIPOC and other disadvantaged groups, lenders that want to lend to businesses owned by BIPOC individuals will do the same.

For what it's worth, a lot of countries with decent privacy laws are looking at closing that stupid loophole by requiring "affirmative consent" whenever something changes to the detriment of the consumer (i.e., more data, wider scope, etc.), meaning the companies would have to require the user to take some action to affirm they consent.
Those same proposals also have provisions prohibiting account suspension / blocking for not consenting. I.e., you can say "no" and continue to use the service exactly as before, though, newer features may be blocked.
