Without these specifics, it's hard to understand the problem.
I’m a hiring manager, but I don’t work in HR. I follow HR guidelines and ask relevant policy questions. Nothing more. I don’t express an opinion about our hiring practices around diversity.

The article doesn’t say that all these individuals raising the issue work on one feature. That would be a relevant detail. My reading of this piece suggests that a swathe of individuals don’t like company culture — the bits that bind employees above the work itself - and that’s the part I can’t grasp. I work at a Fortune 50 company and I have no idea the political or religious affiliations of my coworkers. I could guess, but don’t want to.
I just don’t see how a company culture can have an impactful political bias to people who mind their own business. The article doesn’t specify any specific instance, so I can’t form an opinion on the validity of their claims.
Then they wonder why nobody wants to get lunch with them.
