Maybe because 99% of people that complain about this complain about problems that never occur in 99% of the cases they cite. My employer isn’t going to give a shit that code that I’ve written for their internal CRUD app gets more or less directly copied into my own. There’s only one way to do that, it was already in my head before I wrote it for them, and it’ll still be in after. As long as I’m not directly competing with their interests, what the hell do they care.

You are really not. You are only doing that if the project requires some attestation of provenance. I can tell you that none of mine do.
