It's because they do all their work over the internet and rarely talk to each other in person anymore, so the go-to solution for resolving disputes is to predetermine the consensus, wait until disagreements get sufficiently heated, and then un-person whoever went against the predetermined consensus. No matter how long you spent helping, it becomes like you never existed. Any discussions about this law are going to play out the same way. Leadership complies because it'll face fines. They'll pretend to agree with the principle and the enforcement method to try and keep the heat off them out of habit more than anything, because there's actually nothing in the law saying they have to like it. Then some people will complain, some programmers will also complain, and then those programmers will get kicked off the projects along with anyone who mentions their name after that.
That's just how these things GO now.
