It is way more effort for them to donate their oversupply than to throw it out. This just reeks of wanting to be mad for the sake of being mad. Exact same people would be complaining if they had thrown it out instead of donating.
afaik businesses can usually get tax deductions for donating food, so considering that it’s still not very much effort (more than the near-zero effort to trash it, of course), I don’t think we have evidence for it being “the opposite of nefarious” and it still overall looks like it’s more likely negative.
