It’s moral posturing.

To be fair here, these are private businesses.... They have the right to refuse service for any reason (aside from discrimination based on [insert group]). Every adult can get the vaccine, so..... private businesses have every right to do this. It will be interesting to see people on the right twist themselves into trying to be for private enterprise/capitalism while also being completely against private businesses making their own choices.
Also, if I had to guess, I think these are businesses hedging against more lockdowns from their local governments. If you own a small business right now, what would you rather have? No vaccine mandate and risk the government shutting everything back down again, or requiring people be vaccinated and continue on as normal?
I suspect most folks are in the latter category at this point because the former is not desirable by any group of people.
I am not against it, but you will start seeing lawsuits flying any second now. How the courts respond though I have no idea.
Also - Maybe this will help flesh out some standardized vaccine passports that we can all use for travel, events, etc. That's how you avoid worrying about taking your card everywhere you go.
