Why are there policies against insults but not against business advertising?

Most instances seem to be putting a lot of emphasis on their code of conduct specifically in regard to insults and harassment. I'm not against that and i understand the concept of "your server your rules" but i'm just curious to understand why many are so concerned with slurs while they don't seem to care much about big tech advertising here. I'm posting this seeing plenty of GAFAM in the top posts of the bigger instances.

I'm not necessarily against seeing news about big tech products and events. It's still significant in tech. Could you be more specific about what you're referring to? Maybe I'm not understanding

If you look at his history, he thinks that talking about companies in any context should count as advertisement for that company. He is either stupid or has some personal grievance he can't talk about because it makes him look petty.
