I've heard stories of teams that were more or less dedicated to nothing useful except policing the company, product, and users for woke violations. All these "affinity groups" to ensure voices were "being heard" when decisions were being made or some garbage like that. In essence, at some point there was a takeover and senior leadership either agreed with it or simply didn't want to get into trouble like Google did with these things, so they just went along with it all.
