1. The word is "encourage," not "require."
2. It's a private company, not limited by the 1st Amendment like a state entity would be.
3. It's basically good manners.

Say what you will about "inclusive language," it's something that many professional trade groups voluntarily want to do something about. See, for example, https://sagroups.ieee.org/3400/

“Do not use metaphors or similes that reinforce stereotypes – examples include contrast black and white or blacklist and whitelist,

This is going to be awkward for the chess coders…

[LuFins Dad]

“Do not use words that refer to historical trauma or lived experience of discrimination – examples include slave, master, and nuke.”

Well this is awkward..
