No, plenty of companies I worked at had explicit targets to achieve certain percentages of women and URM hires. Sure, leadership vociferously denied that these were quotas: they were just "inclusion targets" and "diversity goals". But if you failed to meet them you'd either have bad reviews or see your pay reduced (remember, a "bonus" contingent on achieving a quota is identical to a penalty contingent on failure to meet the quota).
