Not everyone has strong, well considered, opinions about the larger world. In fact, with any opinion, it is common to initially take the stance of those you trust.
Also bear in mind that forming defensible opinions is very hard and time consuming, yet the human reward of presenting and discussing them is very real. Philosophising and politicking are very real hobbies.
There is only so much time for any given activity; it makes sense to forgive those who reap the benefits of their employers well designed opinions in the same way I ask chefs to forgive my use of preordained recipes and easily accessible ingredients.
As to the betrayal of an employer? The ease with which I can swap between supermarkets likely matches the ease with which they can swap their argumentative position.
