This is voting with your wallet. I don’t see how this is significantly different from boycotting a company for any sort of reason, aside from the difference in scale.
The company was advertising the product in a way this person disagreed with, this person informed the company that they were not going to purchase said product for said reason, then the company seemed to value them and/or others like them enough to change their advertising.
That’s sad. You criticized them into submission.
