- Because it's yet another "Yes a globalist company is interfering with the media curation ecosystem for ridiculous politically biased virtue signaling reasons, but AKSHUALLY it's not technically censorship because blah blah blah." gaslighting cope.
- No leftist censorship pushes happen in a vacuum. They're obviously testing the waters to see if they can now officially cancel the movie, at which point the only way to see it will be through an illegal download, and while it may not disappear, it will be significantly diminished in the public consciousness (particularly among young people) compared to where it was before and should be (which is another kind of censorship).
- Trying to placate people with whatever fake conditions they've attached to the action to make the pill go down more smoothly is just simping for censors.
- And, yes, it is censorship. Censorship is not just a binary of availability, whether it's technically possible to access something or not. Hell, George Floyd's autopsy that completely disproves the popular narratives about his death has been publicly available (without any attempt at concealing it) since the beginning, but what did that help?
- Censorship is also a matter of how and in what contexts information is made available, because most people damn sure aren't smart enough to do much beyond read the popular headlines of the day. You don't have to nuke information from the Internet to censor it. You just have to make it slightly less available or prominent than it should be and the lemmings will never see it.
- If something should be on every mainstream news network because everyone should be aware of it but it's only available online, then it has been censored even if it's trivially retrievable in 30 seconds. The same applies to a movie being removed from its natural context for no good reason.
