I don't even get what these are protesting.

It doesn't make sense because the protest is an invention.

or intentionally using low-quality AI output in their work without fixing it.

Translated: "our software tool works poorly and produces bad output. If workers do not work to manually fix the output, then they are InTeNtIoNaLlY sAbOtAgInG our business. Responsibility should be on the workers to fix our product's flaw."

That would certainly explain it.

I guess the story they're trying to push is "People intentionally use bad AI just to give officially supported, good AI a bad name!". And that's quite the ridiculous claim.
