I think this makes sense when you consider what hiring a CDO signals. Organizations that don't care about diversity aren't going to hire a CDO and it is likely not going to be anyone's first step into valuing diversity. It instead is a signal of a commitment that already exists within the organizations and therefore isn't going to generate much change. The places that could actually benefit from hiring a CDO don't do it because they likely already have an institutional apathy for the work that a CDO would do.
