The text of the EO actually only orders renaming of the portion of the gulf that is shown as the American EEZ on that map.
But, much like with everything else in society, the companies who bent over backwards renaming as fast as possible were too dumb to read the actual assignment and / or instead just wanted to gargle the ring.
I doubt Donald Trump read the EO either. And those companies know this, and they know he's a small and petty man.
This whole thing doesn't matter much, it just makes the US looks stupid. It's not the job of these companies to oppose the guy Americans voted for even when he's making the country look stupid. It was the duty of American citizens to vote wisely to prevent guys like Trump from having power, but that didn't happen, so here we are.
