To me, it seems odd not to care.

If you don't mind me asking, why do you think that? I'm not trying to start a debate, and I'm sympathetic to many of the reasons why some people are against LLMs (the environment, copyright issues, loss of jobs, not liking chatbots, not trusting the current companies, etc.), but I'm curious why you are against them.
(I don't really understand one being so against LLMs that one tries to avoid software that contains even small amounts of LLM-written code, but I know that a lot of well-informed people feel this way, and it seems far more likely that I'm the one missing something rather than everyone else being wrong.)

Sure, and that's the motte.
This is a direct quote from the linked website:
> Any software whose code, documentation, binaries, or other assets include, in any part, the output of a generative AI tool such as an LLM, is considered “tainted” for our purposes.
... and that's the bailey.
Because to me, it's entirely fair to care about the process when you're the one working with it, but if you've never looked at the code and it works well, it seems odd to care how 10% of it was produced.
I still wouldn't quite use the loaded "tribalism" term here myself though, because there are still a few valid reasons to be skeptical of LLM-generated code, but for many people, their hard anti-LLM stance appears to be more of a shibboleth than a principled stance from my perspective.
