Maybe I am wrong and the real reason is that the founder of e-Bay has now gone over as CEO of HP to manage its continued failures and eventually cessation of business, and the current management are not political correct focused.
Meg Whitman was
NOT the founder of Ebay. She was just a hired marketing goof who was in the right place at the right time. She came from a marketing background at companies like Procter & Gamble, Disney, and Hasbro. She got to Ebay at a time when a poorly trained monkey could have grown that business.
