What exactly would the argument be? Screening out those companies does nothing to make you more righteous or holy. It does nothing to reduce sin in the world.

Also, regarding your argument #1 above: I often find the “But if everyone sells a company’s stock it’s share price will go down” claim to be particularly faulted.

Future investors’ returns would actually be improved for their “sinful” investing due to having paid less for the stock.
