The subtext of the article is that divisiveness is an independent measure of whether ant individuals feel excluded from your organizational culture.
And given that measure, it’s not wrong: sterilizing and suppressing culture is an effective way to make sure nobody is excluded from it.
The tradeoff, which you’re noticing, and that the article fails to, is that a sterile culture doesn’t have inclusivity either.
It’s just inert.
Some workplaces, especially big enterprises, have no choice but to favor non-divisiveness over some kind of signature culture that bonds some people and leaves others feeling left out.
But that’s not the only way to have a healthy, respectful organization and it’s probably not something that we should want as universal.

Doing jobs for someone with more money is one of those things we can’t avoid and it’s been shown over and over we minimize engineering issues when best practices are put first. Jobs are not there to serve every potential individual preference. You’re paid for results not how validated you feel.
