That seems rather tangential to the question at hand. In the cases you cited
the people in question both knew about and understood the policy. I agree that
I am not really following your logic. Andreas' explanation makes more sense to

My only concern is that we not cause people to leave the team over this change.
I'm personally ambivalent about it.
