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.

That its a majority opinion instead of a tiny minority opinion is a strong signal that its more likely to be correct. For example its a majority opinion that murder is bad; this has held true for millennia.
Heres a simpler explanation: toaster frickers tend to seek out other toaster frickers online in niche communities. Occams razor.
