Rei is for me a little girl controlling large robots, with a really concerning backstory

What is this REI you speak of?

Maybe I'm just out of the loop - and hope for not being alone in it

    Recreational Equipment Inc. It's a big outdoor store in the US. They have camping and hiking stuff mostly, not really fishing or hunting.

    And, just like Canada's MEC it used to be a co-op, and still likes to pretend to be a co-op, but is actually a for-profit corporation these days.

    Sorta. I agree, they are a for profit company now. They do still let members vote on the board of directors, which is kinda cool, but it also seems like those elections are a sham with little to no oversight these days. And you can sell your own shit back to them, which is kinda co-op adjacent at least. What I really hate is that they got rid of their classes and trips, it was a big part of what drew me into the membership in the first place.
