Because they are not. Using AI to help writing is something literally every company is pushing for.

How is that relevant? Companies care very little about plagiarism, at least in the ethical sense (they do care if they think it's a legal risk, but that has turned out to not be the case with AI, so far at least).
What do you mean how is that relevant? Its a vast majority opinion in society that using ai to help you write is fine. Calling it "plagiarism" is a tiny minority online opinion.
First of all, the very fact that companies need to encourage it shows that it is not already a majority opinion in society, it is a majority opinion among company management, which is often extremely unethical.
Secondly, even if it is true that it is a majority opinion in society doesn't mean it's right. Society at large often misunderstands how technology works and what risks it brings and what are its inevitable downstream effects. It was a majority opinion in society for decades or centuries that smoking is neutral to your health - that doesn't mean they were right.

As long as AI companies have paid them to train on their data (see a number of licensing deals between OpenAI and news agencies and such).
