Is it crap? Yes.
Is it unfair? Any company can locate their headquarters in a PO box in the Caymans if they want to go through the trouble and expense.
So, in other words, because any other company could do the same thing, it's fair?
How do you define "fair?" If one party is somehow restricted, then that would be "unfair." If Seagate was given special permission to do so and for some reason their competitors were not, it would be unfair.
If everyone is allowed to do it, how can it possibly be unfair to anyone? Sure, some companies have ethics, but they make the choice not to move their headquarters.
It's unfair to taxpayers, but that's not what you asked, but it is why I say it's crap.
