I like Perplexity as a product. I’ve used the product a bit and was always impressed that it seemed pretty balanced.

Why would the leadership of a fairly popular, generally well-liked company with a generally useful, generally well-liked product take a pretty strident stance at the maximally high-temperature moment: fuck labor as a bloc, we’ll cross the strike lines?

Don’t technology companies want to avoid this kind of political shit and just build and ship?

If it was about giving customers products yeah sure. But it's really about making the stock price go up. Politics is a great way to adjust the stock price. See esg scores.
