The point raised by the article is the reverse.

They agree with you that your company does not want to sue. Specifically (in some cases) they explicitly remove your ability to sue violators.

Obviously each company and employee situation is different, but the default position is they own the copyright, and they'd prefer not to sue anyone.

This leads to copyright violations being ignored.

Whether violations are something you care about or not is up to you. Personally I don't get over wound up by it (my code is pirated all the time) but others feel very strongly in this space. This article is pointing out that if you do care, then it pays to make sure where your copyright exists.
