> So… it’s entirely “voluntary”? This has no teeth.

I think you're viewing this from the wrong lens. The current mission of the administration is to align everyone with the party now, so doing "voluntary" things like this is a great way to filter who is actually willing to do this vs not. So you'll see many companies "voluntarily" follow those things, so they can signal that they're ready to play ball, compared to the other companies who obviously see this as a waste of time, and the administration can then treat them accordingly.
