I always wondered why this tactic wasn't taken more often, both in firings, but also when getting canceled by Big Tech or banks. Yes in plenty of those cases HR is smart enough there was no reason beyond performance given, but a lot of times especially with public figures, we'd get an official statement along the lines of "We have been forced to let X go because we don't support hate and we won't employ racist cunts"... basically. I also think they released public statements giving a BS reason for high profile bans like Trump on Twitter and Apple. They should be forced to prove in a court that the person committed the "crime" they alleged.
