Nobody has time for that.
For example, one common target for activists is Nestlé. Most people barely have time to think about Nestlé at all, and of those who do, I think most are oblivious that e.g. Maggi is a brand that Nestlé owns.

Until the same measures are uniformly taken with the rest of the actors in the industry, this is nothing more than virtue signalling.
Denouncing X should also mean denouncing actors close to X, for a given domain space F(actor).
