> why is the neoliberal and corporate world supporting this so fervently?
Because a large chunk of the modern corporate world is trash that relies on "growth & engagement", thus extremely vulnerable to public opinion, which a vocal minority is successfully exploiting - some with legitimate beliefs, but I'm sure a lot of it is virtue-signalling.
If you don't explicitly embrace it (thus even having a merely neutral opinion is not enough), you are therefore considered one of the bad guys and deserving of ostracism.
Worse, this stuff is contagious, and those who are risk-averse better at least pretend to embrace it (and virtue-signal to prove how "inclusive" and "supportive" you are) lest they be mistaken for a bad guy (even if their genuine opinions are internally supportive of the cause, but they'd rather keep politics and beliefs outside of work/business for example).
