The point of individuality is a good one. But this should
be the choice of the person. They can write whatever they
choose for the company. For many of us it is informative.

I don't think company names on badges are harmful, and they do

So what about replacing company names on badges with email addresses?
That might allow one to infer company affiliation if the wearer lists an
address with a company component. Given most of us know each other via
email address, and may wish to follow up a "hallway conversation" with
email, it's possibly more functional.
