They probably don't like it but also believe that the walk out doesn't _do_ anything.
To clarify even further, there's been a lot internal messaging internally from execs condemning sexual harassment and assault since the news cycle. If one believes this messaging, then walking out adds almost nothing more to the situation. If you think the execs are lying to you at all, but especially on this topic, you probably already quit (most google employees don't have problems finding alternative employment)

Let’s wait and see how many actually participate before assuming only that number care?

Rules have to be applied equally, not based on a sliding scale based on how high up the organization oligarchy you are.

What other forms of protest would you suggest that _does_ do something? Or do you have an issue with protesting at all?
Can I summarize your reply as if you don't like it quit?

Hard to figure out how to effectively challenge behavior like that from the rank and file, honestly.

No way, these employees don't get paid by the hour and they aren't going to pull from their PTO to protest. Having a bunch of employees standing around being unproductive hits them right in the wallet. Management is going to listen to this above almost any other signal.
