I think your point 3 includes a sampling bias error. The thousands-millions of Americans who do not separate their political and professional make the news, and the tens of millions of examples of Americans separating the two generate only a few news articles. This also applies to personal connections: people who do not separate are way more likely to evangelize their position than those who do.
Also, too, there is a history of direct consumer activism stretching from the cancel culture of today, through the boycotts of the Civil rights movement, the prohibition movement, ::the 1800s, which I don’t have a ready example for::, and the Boston Tea Party.
