This is really part of it, but it's not included explicitly in that article like it should be.

Other activists, faith-based leaders and consumers already are organizing boycotts to protest companies that have scaled back their diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, and to oppose President Donald Trump’s moves to abolish all federal DEI programs and policies.

Sorry, what I'm trying to explain is that protests require specific demands.

If a protest like this got any traction, companies could just say "ok we're listening, we will think about reinstating some DEI things".

I see what you're saying, but it sounds a little like "no true Scotsman", too. I guess Occupy probably did this better, but I'm not sure it helped enough.
