They will suddenly care when Atlassian locks them out of being able to access anything. Then, we'll see posts on Twitter or here or elsewhere about some user crying about not getting access to "their" stuff on a 3rd party's site.

The thing we’ve constructed of users not owning their content that they post on platforms and then holding the ability to lock them out of access to it arbitrarily is really one of the worst things that has happened to the web.
Legislation is overdue for this. US might be a lost cause, but in EU and elsewhere in the world, this can be greatly remedied.
Or conversely, some might actually be thankful in the long run for being forced to bite the bullet and to find an alternative which raises productivity/efficiency and as a byproduct, usually a happier work environment.
