Is there a reason you think it does? I don't believe the two ideas are at odds with each other.

The examples you’ve mentioned are quite egregious and I understand how you would hold a negative opinion about such efforts. However, I’d argue they come from leaders in a lot of organizations not understanding why inclusivity is actually important, let alone how to implement it.
The scope of creating a workforce with more representation is not small and probably requires long term planning, constant feedback, and buy-in from stakeholders on all fronts. Companies who only want to appear inclusive are bound to take unilateral, drastic measures in order to meet an observable target without considering the higher order effects.
Basecamp’s approach is just avoiding the problem by pretending it doesn’t exist. Employees who felt unwelcome at work won’t suddenly be happy when they can’t even talk about it. Power to make changes will be concentrated at the top with people apparently determined to keep the status quo.
