Appealing to DEI and ESG means companies have to spend less/have more loan money avaiable to them.
Unfortunately, most of the workers you get from following DEI and ESG are at best not talented enough yet, and this is bad in an Industry where a simple error caused from negligence can result in devastating consequences months/years down the line(Plenty of Aviation accidents come from how years before an incident during maintenance the people responsible irresponsibly forget one step in the checking process that eventually results in one part of the plane failing during a critical moment).
