Amazes how can one "love a company". It's just a job. Do it, do it well and get your paycheck. That's it. The company will never love you back anyway.
They don't really mean love, they mean identity, but we don't have good ways to talk about this stuff.
Obviously you can't love an abstract entity. But you can let it come to be part of how you see yourself, which also happens when you're in a relationship. So often we talk about that feeling of love when we're talking about parts of our identity - jobs, hobbies, music interests, etc.
I disagree with your notion that a person is not or cannot love an abstract entity however I do not care enough to explain or elaborate in this comment, feel free to enquire if you're curious
I love this response.
