They are wrong because those memes aren't politic. They are not mentioning any party or political affiliation in any way.

Do companies influence politics? Absolutely. But that's not the point of the meme.

Got it. So only memes that directly mention a political party or political party position is political.

Since there are many communist parties across the globe, that means that any post referencing capitalism is political since making any statement on capitalism is political since it's related directly to the party stance of political parties around the world, both pro and against.

So the Microsoft Nike crossover meme is political by your definition. Glad we agree!
