Where does the idea originate that there has to be a democracy in a private company?

If I were to take my money and start a company, and risk it all, I would go to great lengths (within the law) to make decisions that make my venture successful.

That does involve exercising my rights to choose employees that further this goal, and firing those that don’t.

Democracy in politics where we have an inalienable right to vote, happens in a different domain.

I fail to understand why everyone gets so worked up.

Because he markets himself one way but acts another. As you point out, one can be both a champion of democracy and someone who runs a company with a standard hierarchy, but he doesn’t market himself that way. It’s fugazzi.
