I will say that from my time working as library faculty chair at a major ARL, I am very unsurprised by the creation of an organization like this. For reasons I can't explain (my Quaker predilection for listening to anyone who wants to talk with me? WHO KNOWS?!) I have often had conservative/heterodox types disclose to me their sense of alienation from a lot of librarianship stuff in recent years. I don't know how to address that, but it's a phenomenon that absolutely exists, even if it's small.
