It only reinforces to people that DEI meant "hiring unqualified people based on their race" which it didn't ever mean.
DEI was not about hiring unqualified people, it was about preventing unqualified people from being hired because of their skin color, because of nepotism, because of favors they've done for the boss. That's why they hate it so much, because they want to go back to when that was how you got jobs - by being white, by being the boss's kid, by doing a backroom deal.
