Several posters have brought up those laws as relevant to the actions of that corporation.
Do you also join them in believing these laws are relevant to IKEAs internal policies?
Do you honeslty believe that IKEA took LEOSA into consideration while drafting their firearms policy, or even knows what LEOSA is?
Or, do you think it's more likely that IKEA, like almost every business everywhere, recognizes that having a free LEO presence is a good thing?

The laws contribute to the attitudes...
Seriously?

Get rid of the special interest carve-outs in the laws and we can go back to discussing corporate policies or misinformed employees.
What percentage of businesses do you think take LEOSA into consideration while generating their firearms policies? If the answer is more than 0.1%, you are kidding yourself.
You think poorly trained security guards making up their own interpretations of corporate policy happen because NFA has a LEA exemption?
Lol, ok then.

Until then, customers should complain and companies should ask LEOs to disarm or leave, as activism.
...And... Back in the real world. No. Not going to happen. See IKEAs apology. Remember, actual real world businesses have an interest in having free law enforcement presence. They don't care about your 2A activism. See Target, Chipotle, Starbucks et al.
The real world, it's not THR. Businesses want guns on cops in uniform, not on shabby, slovenly, unshaven 2A demonstrators handing out black helicopter fliers and waving the Gadsden flag.
How about we do some real world "until then" discussion?
Do something to change the public perception that Open Carry folks are all this idiot:
Until then, businesses will keep letting in armed cops while telling armed civilians to shove off.
